Cowichan Tribes Youth Services' Salmon Canning Workshop is this Saturday, August 8, 2026, from 3:00pm - 8:00pm at the Siem Lelum Gym Kitchen!
This workshop is for Cowichan Youth and Cowichan Connections ages 12–18.
It is an opportunity for youth to learn practical skills like safe knife handling, filleting, and step-by-step preservation techniques while exploring the history of canning within the Cowichan community.
We are deeply honoured to once again welcome master knowledge canner Gary Johnnie who will be leading this session which includes all necessary materials and salmon.
To honor traditional practices, youth will gift their first completed jar and bring the remainder of their harvest home.
**Please note that capacity is strictly limited to ensure optimal mentorship and safety for all participants.**
