Swimming the Fraser for Salmon and Survival | Vancouver News
Description
Four swimmers are tackling a grueling 1,375-kilometer journey down British Columbia’s Fraser River — one of the last wild rivers on Earth — to rally support for protecting 30% of its watershed by 2030. Starting August 7 and ending September 4 at Garry Point Park, they’re following a historic route while highlighting the river’s vital role in sustaining salmon, forests, farms, and communities. Facing extreme weather and wildlife, they’re pushing boundaries to raise awareness as climate change and development threaten this ecological lifeline. Their swim is part of a six-year campaign uniting 76 First Nations and 75 municipalities to secure the river’s future.
