Fairmont Waterfront Team Visits the Stunning Destination of Haida Gwaii

Chef Alessandro and our team recently visited Haida Gwaii (a group of remote islands off the coast of northern British Columbia) to experience where our 100% certified Ocean Wise seafood is sourced first hand.

We had an amazing time razor clamming with renowned Haida carver Reg Davidson; mushroom foraging with Haida carver Tyson Brown and salmon fishing with Shawn Baybutt, Jenny Bourne and the crew from Haida Wild. We were overwhelmed with the hospitality that we experienced from everyone we met and completely in awe of the raw beauty of the islands.

ARC and Fairmont Waterfront are proud to partner with Haida Wild as we work together to support sustainable fishing - our goal is to source 60% of our restaurant's seafood from the pristine waters off the shores of Haida Gwaii.

Through our partnership and our commitment to sustainability, we aim to improve the communities in which we live and operate.  The fisheries around Haida Gwaii not only provide an important link to the cultural heritage of the islands, but also a sustainable future for the islands communities. 

Haida Wild is committed to helping guide others back to the ways of nature: living more connected lives, eating cleanly and sustainably, and knowing the origin of one’s food. This is why they produce seafood that incorporates Yahguudang, the Haida concept of respect for the land, sea, air and all living things.
