Fraser River conservation relay swim

Overview

The Fraser River Challenge is a 1,375-kilometre relay swim traveling from the Rocky Mountain headwaters to Garry Point Park in Steveston at the Salish Sea. The expedition, which began on August 6 and is scheduled to conclude by September 4, features climate activist Naomi Devine alongside ecologists Dr. Isabelle Côté and Michelle Connolly.

The initiative seeks to build public support for a conservation goal to protect 30 per cent of the Fraser Rivershed by 2030. This effort is part of a five-year campaign by Fraser Riverkeeper to safeguard the river system, which serves as a critical habitat for all native Pacific salmon species. Various businesses, non-profits, and unions are also participating in the journey through the watershed using canoes and rafts.
