Session 5: A Declaration & Framework for Collaboration, Building a Model for BC
April 22, 2023 – The Salmon Action Dialogues aim to align and coordinate action for the conservation and recovery of wild Pacific salmon. In the first four sessions, the Dialogues have focused on collaborative working models underway in B.C., Washington State and the Great Lakes and from these we have collectively developed key ingredients for success to help in the development of a collaborative framework. Session 5 will focus on the notion of a shared declaration for salmon and a three-scale collaborative framework for salmon recovery.

Session 4: Towards Solutions for Collaboration in BC
June 2, 2022 – Session 4 starts to identify potential solutions that support better collaboration specific to BC salmon, through asking how lessons learned in Sessions 2 and 3 can apply to the development of a coordinated framework for salmon recovery in BC. Through breakout groups and plenary facilitated discussions, virtual and in-person participants discussed contextualizing ingredients for success for BC, as well as next steps to driving a collaborative framework in BC.
Session 3: Collaborative Models from BC

The afternoon panel explores two interior examples: Nicola Watershed Governance Partnership, and Okanagan Nation Alliance.
Session 2: Collaborative Models
April 27, 2022 – Through the first two panels and facilitated discussions, functioning multi-jurisdictional models of collaboration are explored, including: Washington State’s “State of Salmon” initiatives, BC’s “Together for Wildlife” Strategy, and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. The third panel and discussion invites representatives from the Province of BC and DFO to speak to current initiatives focussed on salmon conservation and recovery, and their interest and value in the Dialogues.
