Tla’amin Nation is seeking proposals from qualified fishers to harvest the Nation’s 2026 domestic sockeye allocation. This is an opportunity to work directly with Tla’amin on a meaningful harvest that supports our food sovereignty and creates employment for Tla’amin Citizens.
What we’re looking for
Qualified fishers must hold a valid DFO Commercial Fisher Identification Number and be prepared to provide a Tla’amin Citizen with a paid employment role as part of the engagement. Proposals should include vessel details, skipper experience, a proposed price per pound or flat harvesting rate, and two to three references from comparable contracts.
Proposals will be evaluated on qualifications and experience (20%), project approach and timeline (20%), and budget (55%), with the remainder weighted on proposal completeness.
