Hornby HerringFest Celebrates Herring and Marine Mammals

community · March 7-10, 2018 · Hornby Island Community Hall

Hornby Island Community Hall hosts HerringFest from March 7-10, 2018, featuring an art show, wildlife boat tours, expert talks on herring and marine mammals, and a Herring Ball dance. The festival aims to educate about the ecological importance of herring and threats to related species such as killer whales, humpback whales, and sea lions.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
