...A submission from Rotarian Vicki
Elvers (baby eels) have become the most valuable fish exported from Canada.
They can be sold for as much as $5,000 per kilogram.
Most Canadian elvers are shipped to Asia, where they are grown to full size for consumption. The demand from Asia, and significant declines in global elver catch, have led to the increase in value of Canadian elvers.
The species was designated as threatened in 2012 by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. (Source: Word game Canuckle)

The western provinces of Canada are currently facing severe wildfire conditions. The situation is particularly dire in the Town of Jasper, where the fires have forced evacuations and caused significant damage to the community. Bill Given, the Town Manager and a fellow Rotarian is managing these challenges during this critical time.
In response, the Rotary District 5370 Charitable Foundation has established the Jasper Fire Relief Fund. This fund is dedicated to supporting the long-term rebuilding of community programs in Jasper, focusing on areas such as mental health, sports, food supply, and other essential social services.
How you can help:
1. Donate Online: Visit Canada Helps and select “Jasper Fire Relief Fund” in the box underneath the donation amount.
