“Then the media will be able to go to an exhibitor showcase featuring seal products, closing remarks and a press conference on Wednesday afternoon," he said.Meanwhile, behind those closed doors at the Delta Hotel in St. John’s, invited participants will talk about seal science, fisheries management and seal markets.
SaltWire made multiple requests over the past few weeks asking the minister’s office for details about the agenda and speakers for the summit and requesting a media pass.On Friday afternoon, following an email from Kevin Lemkay, communications director for DFO minister Joyce Murray, SaltWire exchanged these texts with Lemkay, asking for a reason why media would not be allowed into the seal summit in St. John's next week.
Day Two will focus on Indigenous knowledge and seal product market development, including seal product innovation, building a trusted brand and expanding seal products into new markets.
