Quotes:
“So with the Tsolum River. If only we had listened to the earth. We thought we knew best what was good for the river and for ourselves. But it is not too late. The river will never again be what it was in tended to be. But with our new insights, and by working together as a community, we can allow the river to once again flow clean and sweet to the estuary and become the rightful home to those creatures.”
