Fishery Notice

In the fall of 2013, Directors of the CSAB and/or representatives appointed 
through their respective Harvest Committees began the engagement of a process 
to Update the Commercial Salmon Allocation Framework. It was decided that in 
the interest of ensuring consistency and continuity to the dialogue and advice 
being provided to this process, from the commercial representatives, that 
holding the annual CSAB/Harvest Committee elections should be postponed until 
the conclusion of this work.

This notice is to announce that the Commercial Salmon Advisory Board (CSAB) 
Salmon Area Harvest Committee Representative Nominations are now underway.  In 
order to be eligible to stand for election to the Area Harvest Committee, all 
nominations must be received by 16:00 hours on February 20, 2015.

As in previous years, nominations forms are available from the DFO Website at:

http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/consultation/smon/csab-ccpcs/index-eng.html

or you may contact the Salmon Officer via email at Kelly.Binning@dfo-mpo.gc.ca 
or by phone at 604-666-3935.   Nomination forms will also be emailed out to 
salmon licence eligibility holders. 

A nomination may be made by the following:
- The contact owner for a vessel that permanently holds category A salmon 
licence eligibility/ies
- The licence eligibility holder for a category F or N salmon licence.
The nominator is deemed the "eligible voter" for the purposes of this process. 
One nomination may be made for each salmon licence eligibility. 

Each salmon area harvest committee representative nomination allows you to 
nominate ONE individual to represent you on the committee. The nominee does not 
have to be a salmon vessel owner/ licence eligibility holder. 

Please refer to the Nomination Form for any additional information at the above 
link or by contacting the salmon officer.

Once the nominations have been recorded, a confirmation of receipt will be e-
mailed to the e-mail addresses listed on the nomination forms.  The names of 
individuals who have been nominated as Salmon Area Harvest Committee 
representatives will be announced via Fisheries Notice on a weekly basis. Once 
the nomination deadline is completed, a list of nominees and election forms 
will be mailed to eligible voters in each area. 

Proposed Timeline for the Election Process: 

1) Eligible voters are asked to complete and submit nomination forms to elect 
their Salmon Area Harvest Committee representatives by February 20, 2015.  An 
email will be sent in confirmation of receipt of the nomination.  Any mailed 
nomination forms must be post-marked by the February 20, 2015 deadline.
2) Fishery Notice updates will be sent on a weekly basis on the nominations 
received to date.
3) A final Fishery Notice will be released with the final list of nominations 
on February 27, 2015.
4) Election ballots will be mailed out to licence holders and an announcement 
will be made via Fisheries Notice by March 16, 2015.
5) The deadline for submission of election ballots will be April 10, 2015.
6) It is anticipated that the release of election results will be in early May 
2015.

As the election will be for the entire board, half of the board positions will 
receive 2 year terms based on the number of votes received; remaining vacancies 
for the bottom half of the board will receive 1 year terms.  The next election 
process is anticipated for Sept 2016.

Updates will be announced via Fisheries Notice. You may sign up to receive
