Forum Host
The Rivershed Society of British Columbia, a non-profit charitable organization, formed in 1996, has a vision of salmon flourishing in our rivers, and people flourishing in our communities. We believe respect for riversheds begins with individual awareness. Using ecological carrying capacity as a guiding principle, we deliver education and leadership programs, build stewardship capacity and encourage sustainable solutions.
More about RSBC
Background
In 2001, the RSBC launched its ten-year Healthy Riversheds Strategy and held the first Riversheds Forum. The idea of the strategy and the annual conference was to continue the work started with Fin Donnelly's Fraser River millennium swim. Each year, the Riversheds Forum brings together Fraser River Basin community champions who want to share, learn and strategize on stewardship and sustainability issues affecting the health of their riversheds and their community's sustainability.
