Mike Mitchell Editor/Host of BC Outdoors Sports TV Show made Special video appearance to kick off the Awards Ceremony on Saturday evening. Mike's message was clear and to the point " He fishes all up & down the coast of BC & in his eyes there is no better fishing anywhere on the coast than HERE" Why? Because of the efforts of so many volunteers to enhance the salmon fishing throughout our region over the past 12yrs.
THANK YOU MIKE!

Mike recently filmed one of his award winning Sport Fishing TV Shows here at Westview. It will air this fall. Stay tuned for the time & station airing schedule all across Canada & The USA. Mike & his crew will be back next season to Fish/Catch/Film
