The Fraser River Salmon Sampling Program is a community-led monitoring program facilitated by Gibraltar Mine. The program is led by the Xatśūll First Nation and the Northern Shuswap Tribal Council, with Gibraltar Mine representatives providing coordination support.
EDI has provided technical assistance to the program since its inception in 2016. The objective of the program is to assess the safety of eating salmon caught at traditional fishing sites. Small tissue samples are collected for metal concentration analysis. The remainder of the fish are taken to local communities where they are used for sustenance.
