Food and Ceremonial

The right to fish for food, social and ceremonial (FSC) purposes is protected under section 35 of the Constitution. It is a collective right, not an individual one. Designated Indigenous harvesters can catch what is needed for themselves and/or their community for FSC purposes. FSC fishing does not provide an opportunity for the sale of catch. It may also occur at various times of the year, which are not always aligned with commercial fishery seasons or areas.

A person wearing a hat and waders uses a net to catch a fish jumping out of a river. A waterfall flows in the background, and a tree is visible on the right side of the image.

Skewers of fish are set vertically around a fire pit, roasting over hot coals. The fish are arranged in a circle, creating a vivid display of orange, with a grassy area and chair in the background.

A collection of oysters and clams rests on a surface with the ocean blurred in the background. The sunlight illuminates the rough textures of the shells, highlighting their natural patterns and colors.

A dense group of salmon, predominantly pink and red, swim closely together in a river. The fish are surrounded by patches of greenish water, creating a vibrant and dynamic scene that highlights the natural movement of the school.

A fishing boat with extended arms sails on the ocean at sunset. The silhouette of distant mountains is visible in the background, and the sky is a warm golden hue.

Strips of red salmon hang from wooden racks, drying in the open air. The image shows the fish's rich color and texture, with some parts partially cut and others intact, creating a visually striking pattern.

A person wearing gloves is filleting large salmon with a knife on a table. Several salmon fillets and fish pieces are arranged on a cloth, showcasing their bright orange flesh and shiny silver skin.
