Saturday, May 3: Vancouver Spot Prawn Festival

Vancouver, BC (False Creek Fisherman’s Wharf), 12-5 pm

This festival will feature Vancouver’s top chefs preparing delicious spot prawn dishes, celebrating the arrival of the season’s first spot prawns as local fishermen return to the wharf with their catch!

With tastings and cooking demonstrations, the goals of the Spot Prawn Festival are to highlight an environmentally sound and locally sourced product as a readily available and delicious alternative to Southeast Asian tiger; to help encourage the development of Vancouver’s first day-boat fishery delivering high quality spot prawns directly to the local community; and to remind us that farmer’s markets don’t stop at the water’s edge.

Sunday, May 4: Hazel Wolf Environmental Film Festival

Johnson Hall, University of Washington, 1:00pm, room 175

Join us for this screening of It’s All a Lie (10 min, UK), a film by the Environmental Justice Foundation about the destruction caused by shrimp farming in Brazil.
