Rebecca Timmons

I have been a Freshwater Technician with Grieg Seafood BC in Gold River, BC, since May 2023. I grew up in Shawnigan Lake on Vancouver Island, enjoying fishing and being out by the water. I graduated from Vancouver Island University with a BSc in Fisheries and Aquaculture in 2023. During my years at VIU, I knew that raising salmon was what I wanted to do. In 2019, I received the Long Beach Lodge Resort — Sandy Miller Memorial Award for outstanding achievement and demonstrating interest and dedication to salmon. I am working with our Broodstock, spawning and fertilizing eggs for production, sampling for fish health screening, and husbandry. With my science background, I bring knowledge of how our systems function and water quality, as well as a passion for fish health. I plan to continue working to gain experience, expand my skill set, and learn. As a salmon farmer, I have pride in the fish we produce and how it directly impacts the remote coastal communities we live and work in.
