From shifting waterlines and submerged forests, to displaced communities and wildlife, salmon, water management, hydroelectricity and climate change, this tour will explore what’s been lost, what remains, and what the future could hold.
We are living through a historic moment in the Columbia Basin. Especially with ongoing efforts to modernize the Columbia River treaty, reshape dam operations, and reintroduce ocean-going salmon. While electricity demand skyrockets in B.C. and around the world, now is the time to understand the issues and impacts of this watershed that connects us.
