"Get Out" Migration

On my bus ride home from downtown I passed by the Wildfire Bakery. The building has always stood out to me for its colourful painting on the front, and especially its mural on the side. I did not notice until today that this mural changes from time to time, and right now is part of one of the creative ways people on the island are using art to communicate that Salmon Are Sacred

The dying of fish due to corporate fish farming is nothing new to us, and the "Get Out" Migration is an island response to preserve our wild salmon.
This "migration" is meant to parallel the migration of fish, and like the migration of fish is meant to be MASSIVE.

The easiest step to take is signing the petition that is directly on their website. That's what I'll be doing after today's post has been posted.

If you're on the island, check out the migration's itinerary, and join in on whatever event is at your checkpoint. Start looking for the Salmon Are Sacred art around you, and put up your own, or if you are not of the creative nature, print off one post one of their downloadable posters.

This group has an important call and message that extends beyond the dying of salmon:
Don't be the tragedy!
