2025 Network Retreat

The Local Catch Canada network hosted its first retreat April 14th-16th 2025 in Vancouver, BC!

The retreat was a resounding success and brought together approximately 40 seafood harvesters and allies through the Local Catch Canada network to engage in learning, knowledge sharing, and practical discussions about the seafood industry in Canada and Indigenous Nations and Territories. Attendees participated in interactive workshops, presentations, and breakout groups on critical issues in our seafood systems, Indigenous sovereignty and strategic discussions to drive the network's future. The retreat also offered ample networking opportunities to foster collaboration among peers and resource-sharing to enhance logistics and community-building within the industry.
