Time to welcome another Rivershed team member! 🎉
Emily is a member of the Stellat’en First Nation and she grew up along the Nechako and its tributaries. She has lived on Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh territories for the past 5 years while she completed her studies at UBC. The combination of her cultural values and her background in biological research have shaped her passion for the conservation of Pacific salmon. She has joined the Rivershed team as a Research Assistant to help create a compendium on sustainable alternatives to open net-pen salmon farming, and is enthusiastic about this opportunity to advocate for meaningful change.
Thanks for joining us this summer, Emily!

And that's a wrap for #RaceTheRiver! Not only did

And that's a wrap for #RaceTheRiver! Not only did we exceed our goal of travelling the entire length of the #FraserRiver, we completed nearly FOUR laps! 👏 As our first virtual event, we were unsure of what to expect, and we've been blown away by your enthusiasm and support.
Every km logged (from 1km/person to 1,202 kms/person!), every activity performed (including walking, running, cycling, mountain biking, swimming, rowing, canoeing, kayaking, skateboarding, and more!), and every location explored (within each region of the Fraser Watershed!) has brought us closer to building a community invested in the resiliency of the Fraser.
Thank you so much to all who participated and to our generous sponsors, New Pathways to Gold Society, Odlum Brown Limited @OdlumBrown, and Pooni Group @PooniGroup.

Looking for something unique to do for the last we

Looking for something unique to do for the last weekend of #RaceTheRiver? Why not visit Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park, a little-known spot packed with history, featuring picnic tables, views of the Fraser, and a 750m path to the beautiful bridge.
For a more strenuous outing, check out the nearby Tikwalus Heritage Trail. Containing many points of interest such as culturally modified cedars, and enhanced by interpretive signs, this trail is a great way to learn about Nlaka'pamux history and culture.
As the wildfires near Lytton continue, please be cautious and make sure to monitor the wildfire smoke conditions which can change quickly.
Wherever you end up this weekend, don’t forget to log your kilometres on our website (link in bio)!

#AppreciationPost! We’d like to say a big #Thank

#AppreciationPost! We’d like to say a big #ThankYou to the New Pathways to Gold Society for sponsoring our #RaceTheRiver event. We are so grateful for their ongoing support.
The New Pathways to Gold Society is a non-profit organization that partners with First Nations communities and government to develop and deliver exciting projects supporting local economies and creating heritage tourism assets. They have so many great projects on the go, including working with the Spuzzum First Nation to restore the historic Alexandra Bridge.
The New Pathways to Gold Society was directly impacted by the devastating fires in Lytton last week. If you are able, please donate to the Lytton Relief Fund (link in bio).
Our thoughts are with this wonderful organization and all those impacted by the ongoing wildfires in BC. Please stay safe and look out for one another.
