Protect Liverpool Bay
Jul 25, 2021
“To protect marine ecosystems and debilitated wild salmon populations, our only choice is to move fish farming out of the water,” - Jessica Alexander, Green Party, Chester-St.Margarets
The rally took place outside the Blandford Community Centre with the other three candidates for the riding — Danielle Barkhouse (PC), Amy Riestma (NDP), and Jacob Killawee (Liberal) — at an event hosted by the Twin Bays Coalition and the Healthy Bays Network, two organizations opposed to fish farms on the south shore. Inside the community centre, Cooke Aquaculture was hosting a regulatory “open house” required for the expansion of its Bayswater fish farm — which has already happened."
