The fourth meeting of the Fraser Assembly took place in Prince George on June 24-25. The Fraser Assembly is an annual meeting and ongoing network open to all stakeholder and First Nations groups throughout the Fraser Basin, and is central to the Fraser Salmon & Watersheds Program process. The June meeting, in addition to providing opportunities for networking, invited participants to:

• Continue to provide input and guidance on the overall development of FSWP;
• Develop priority activities for FSWP in 2009/2010 through participation in Program Area Advisory Teams;
• Share insights and lessons from projects, and explore common interests and themes; and
• Discuss program highlights and new developments within FSWP, and begin thinking ahead to needs beyond 2010.
