Rivershed formed in 1996, in the wake of Fin Donnelly’s ‘Swim for Life’ – a 1,400 km three-week swim down the entire length of the Fraser River.
Our Vision: The Fraser Watershed is a resilient watershed, with salmon, people and economies flourishing in rivershed communities.
Our Mission: Connect, protect, and restore the Fraser’s 34 riversheds.
Rivershed aims to build and foster respectful relationships with Indigenous Nations who, since time immemorial, have been stewards of the lands within the Fraser Watershed and continue that significant role today.
Rivershed acknowledges our position as a settler-led organization on Indigenous, and often unceded, untreatied land in what is today called British Columbia, Canada. Our organization works to understand the responsibilities of this privilege, and we aim to engage, promote, and support Indigenous-led work to connect, protect, and restore (Watershed CPR) the Watershed.
