A fresh look and easier-to-access information are among the highlights of the newly-redesigned BC Salmon Farmers website, officially launched today.
The site - still housed at www.salmonfarmers.org – has taken about nine months to develop in order to review and update items as well as organize the site to better accommodate the large amount of information it holds
“We recognized that our website had come to house so many years of updates that it was challenging for people to find clear, up-to-date information on the issue or topic that is important to them,” said Mary Ellen Walling, Executive Director of the BC Salmon Farmers Association. “This more streamlined site will help us better meet our goals of informing and sharing with the public.”
Current industry positions on key issues can be found on the Hot Topics page, and a developing library of information is housed on the Research and Resources Page, indexed by topic. There are easy links to the BC Salmon Facts website and lots of information about the BCSFA organization and membership.
The site will continue to be populated with information in the months to come – so visitors are invited to check back for more updates.
“What I like most about the site is that it can now continue to grow with our members – we’ve built up a lot of knowledge and expertise, and this is where we can share our story as we continue to advance,” said Walling.
Also released this week was a new blog by the BCSFA called Beyond Expectations. The site will profile employees monthly from the salmon farming industry, for work and activities they’re doing in the community and beyond.

The BCSFA represents salmon farm companies and those who supply services and supplies to the industry. Salmon-farming provides for 6,000 direct and indirect jobs while contributing $800-million to the provincial economy each year.
