In order to conduct the draws for all Communities of Interest on the same day, the draws will take place virtually again this year.
Here are the details:
The draws will be held virtually, at the office, on February 28th, 2023, following the usual procedures.
It should be noted that, as usual, we will only be able to confirm the allocations once the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada has announced the snow crab fishing plan (usually a few weeks before the fishery).
We will contact the first names on the lists to inform the fishermen who are most likely to obtain an allocation. It is not necessary to call the office to see if your name has been drawn.
Add your name to the list
For your name to be included in the draw, you must provide your name and Fisher Identification Number (FIN) to Danielle Albert by phone at (506) 395-6366 before 4:00 pm on February 23rd, 2023.
Watch the draws
To virtually watch your community’s draw live, please register in advance by sending your name and email address to tracadie@mfu-upm.com or by phone at 506) 395-6366 before 4:00 pm on February 23rd, 2023.
The draw schedule and the Zoom link will be sent to you by email the day before the draw.
Good Luck!
