Remembering Susan Farquharson

Tom Taylor
, 
Executive Director, Atlantic Canada Fish Farmers Association
On behalf of our Board of Directors and the team at the Atlantic Canada Fish Farmers Association, I extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Susan Farquharson, who passed away on November 7, 2025.

Leading with integrity, purpose and vision, Susan was the longest-serving Executive Director in ACFFA’s history, leading our organization from 2015 to March 2025. A passionate advocate for sustainable aquaculture, she championed science-based innovation and collaboration across our sector. Her leadership helped shape the future of finfish farming in Atlantic Canada and was instrumental in helping to advance the groundbreaking Fundy Salmon Recovery partnership which has achieved the highest returns of inner Bay of Fundy wild Atlantic salmon in 20 years.

Beyond her many professional achievements, Susan was a mentor, colleague, and dear friend who will be deeply missed.

Funeral details can be found here.
