CANCELLED: FMC’s Hokitika Wild Rivers conference March 2022
Update: 29 October 2021
Conference cancelled due to COVID.
It is with regret that FMC has decided to cancel this event.
The decision was made at our October 2021 meeting after much discussion. Until there is a degree of certainty with COVID and in-person events the Executive decided that it wasn’t prudent to invite people from all over the country to Hokitika. Also, the effort and resources to organise an event with a high chance of being cancelled would be wiser utilized elsewhere.
Unfortunately, the cancellation decision was made after the November issue of Backcountry went to press: that issue contains out of date and contradictory information that the conference is still on. We apologize for any confusion caused.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the FMC Executive Officer
