First Nation Harvested Salmon from BC’s Central Coast to be Sold in WalMarts

Salmon harvested by a remote First Nation off BC’s central coast will soon be hitting shelves in WalMarts across Canada.

Produced by the Kitasoo/ Xai’xais First Nations, Klemtu Spirit Hot Smoked Salmon will soon be available in more than 330 stores, country-wide.

Klemtu Spirit is made of Atlantic salmon, farm-raised off the coast of Swindle Island, which is prepared and packaged by First Nations in the Town of Klemtu.

The product is a culmination of a 30-year partnership between the two Nations and seafood producer Mowi Canada West.

WalMart says that this is just the beginning of their partnership with the Kitasoo/Xai’xais Nation.
