-
Three Nines Fine: Hailing from Vancouver, Three Nines Fine are a five-piece rock band bringing serious heat—fresh off their Battle of the Bands win in White Rock. High energy, killer vocals, and ripping guitar… and they’re just getting started.

About the Little Campbell Hatchery:
The current hatchery building has been subjected to years of flooding over its nearly 40-year history. During the devastating atmospheric river floods of 2021, the hatchery was further damaged and tens of thousands of fish eggs were destroyed when the building was under three feet of water.SFGC is planning to construct a new building on higher ground – safe from the flooding hazards of the future. As well, it will modernize its equipment and operating systems to grow even more. It is estimated that each year, the SFGC hatchery releases an additional 100,000 salmon into the river system – over the past 40 years that equates to approximately 3.5 - 4 million salmon. Now that’s a conservation story!
About Salmon Sessions Music Festival
Now in its fourth year, Salmon Sessions Music Festival continues to grow as a unique celebration of local conservation, arts, and culture. In 2025, the festival expanded to include an Artisan Market, and to date has showcased over 60 local musicians, creating meaningful opportunities within the regional arts and entertainment sector.
Looking ahead, we are exploring options to expand Salmon Sessions into a multi-day event, including the addition of a car show, further strengthening its impact. With partner support, Salmon Sessions has the potential to become a premier annual event in South Surrey, attracting top-quality talent, increasing tourism, and driving economic and cultural benefits for the wider region.
