"Every year in early October…the Sockeye Salmon make their run of the Adams River. Every 4th year is a 'dominant' run, with millions of fish to be seen (2010 and 2014 will be dominant runs). Nearly 10 million sockeye salmon returned in 2010 to the Fraser River and the Adams River."

"I immediately felt they were bang on with their concept and approach," said Tighe-Lovsin. "I wanted our world-class salmon experience to be part of this extraordinary program that markets experiences to 11 countries. It will bring the world to the Shuswap and Salmon Arm."
