🎉🎈Congrats to our founder, Fin Donnelly, for being this year's Fraser River Hall of Fame Inductee 🎉🎈
@thefrdc is celebrating @fraser_fin for making a significant contribution to the health and sustainability of the Fraser River. From his multiple environmental marathon swims covering more than 3,200 kilometres in BC’s rivers, lakes and ocean to raise awareness about the health of these waters 🏊‍♂️, to repeatedly being elected to serve in several levels of government where he has tirelessly worked to protect water, salmon and people, we are incredibly proud of the work Fin has done over the years. 🤩
Join us in celebrating Fin by attending the Fraser River Hall of Fame gala on November 9th. The event is both in-person and online – tickets now available!
