The Hardy Buoys are on the case ā to make delicious, made-in-B.C. smoked salmon. Yesterday, I had a chance to tour the Hardy Buoys Smoked Fish facility, and of course it was also a chance to buy a whole bunch of smoked salmon. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Turning reconciliation into a wedge issue might generate headlines, but it would come at the expense of jobs and prosperity for British Columbians. We all want to build the B.C. of our dreams. To get there, the path forward is together ā or not at all.

You can help in times of drought. Small changes can help protect rivers, fish & communities: water lawns less, sweep instead of hose, turn off taps, fix leaks, and clean your car less often. Every drop saved counts.
