BC Rivers Day Celebration (1)
Posted by Magda (Vancouver, Canada) on 28 September 2009 in People & Portrait.
BC Rivers Day seeks to raise public understanding of rivers and the many benefits they provide to us --- clean water, spawning salmon, historic trade and exploration routes, a place to play. There is much to celebrate, but BC Rivers Day also profiles the threats to our waterways, and offers the public a chance to get directly involved with creating solutions
