This is how Canadians #DoMoreForWildlife

You’ve heard of the farm-to-table movement, but have you ever heard of water-to-table? How many times have you questioned where your fish comes from or whether it was farmed or caught wild? In our lifetime, there has been a shocking change to the fishing industry, one that has resulted in the resettlement of hundreds of Canadian communities and 75% of the fish Canadians eat being imported from other countries.
