BC YOUNG FISHERMEN'S GATHERING

A two day event with multiple workshops designed to support

the next generation of British Columbia's fishing fleet.

Each Winter, harvesters from across the province (and beyond) gather for two days of networking, learning, and celebration. The BC Young Fishermen's Gathering is a chance to build connection across the fisheries, and to develop your business, policy, and leadership skills. The event is hosted by fishermen, for fishermen and we welcome young commercial fishermen (under 55), new entrants to the industry, and those considering a fishing career.
