THE CAPILANO Hatchery in North Vancouver is the site
of the first fund-raising project of the Pacific Salmon

Foundation (PSF).

The foundation opened a gift
shop at the hatchery Friday. The
opening marks the first step in a
plan to set up similar gift shops in
some of the 22 federal government
hatcheries operating in B.C.

An initial $40,000 capital in-
vestment for the North Vancouver
gift shop will generate an estimated
annual net income in excess of
$80,600 for the foundation.

The foundation was formed to
facilitate a coordinated public ef-
fort to assist the enhancement and
conservation of the Pacific salmon
resource to complement federal
and provincial government funding
and programs already in place.

The organization, a registered
charitable organization, was in-
corporated in August. The foun-
dation operates under the sponsor-
ship of the federal government
through the Hon. Tom Siddon,
minister of Fisheries and Oceans.

In addition to the gift shop plan
to raise funds and public
awareness, the foundation is seek-

ing financial contributions and
services from corporations active
in major resource sectors such as
fishing, mining, forestry,
agriculture and tourism.

While the fledglir:z foundation is
in the process of gathering support
from the community, it is also
looking at how it can support the
efforts of other groups actively in-
volved in salmon enhancement
programs.

Said PSF executive director
Ward Falkner: ‘‘We’ve had some
discussions with North Shore
enhancement groups now that the
money is starting to come in.”’

The Capilano shop carries a
broad selection of items including
native art, jewelry, smoked salm-
on, T-shirts and sweat shirts.
