Clam Digging Expeditions 

Reconnect, Reflect, and Harvest: SȾÁUTW̱ Fisheries’ Clam Digging Expeditions 

We’re excited to announce an upcoming opportunity to come together and celebrate the values that strengthen our community. 

In the spirit of unity and tradition, SȾÁUTW̱ Fisheries will be hosting clam digging expeditions exclusively for Nation members. These outings are about more than just harvesting clams—they’re about rekindling the bonds of family and friendship, fostering a sense of sharing and respect, and honouring our Elders by gathering and providing for them. 

Dates: 

  • April 16th – 11:00am-5pm
  • April 17th   – 11:30am-5pm
  • April  28th – 9:30am-5pm
  • April 29th – 10:00am-5pm
  • April 30th – 10:00am-5pm

Details: 

  • Members are requested to bring their own lunches, and water bottles, hats, sunscreen, boots, and clothing.
  • Fisheries will provide transportation, buckets, and digging forks.
  • We will have limited space so first come first serve. 20 spots available.

Boat departs Sidney, Tsehum Harbour at stated time.

Trucks will be departing the office one hour prior to boat departure if anyone needs a ride to the vessels.

Let’s come together, dig deep—both in the sand and in our hearts—and make these expeditions a meaningful way to share together. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
