The Rivershed Society of British Columbia formed in the wake of Fin
Donnelly’s Swim for Life down B.C.’s longest river, the Fraser,
in 1995. After this 1370 km month-long event, there was a demand for
Fin to speak in British Columbia schools and communities. Requests for
his slide show presentation evolved into the Rivershed Education Program
and eventually the Society.
Since its inception in 1996, the RSBC has earned the respect of many
Fraser River Basin organizations – including stewardship groups,
schools, First Nations, and local and senior government agencies –
by delivering quality public education programs, community initiatives,
and by building stewardship capacity in the Fraser River Basin.
The RSBC is a non-profit charitable organization with an honourary
board of 11 distinguished leaders, 12 directors, five committees, a
small staff, and many volunteers, members and supporters. The RSBC works
with dozens of organizations throughout the Fraser River Basin and British
Columbia.
