We meet three times year, and board members collect and share information from stewardship groups from across British Columbia. We have expert speakers in, and tour local habitat restoration sites, dams, fish ladders, etc.
We distill all that information, positive and negative, and report to senior DFO management at Pacific Regional HQ.
Here are a few shots from our latest meeting in Kamloops, BC:
I got to take part in the event at Horseshoe Bay, and it was a blast.
We engaged folks in conversation about maintaining healthy watersheds, and had them paint Dreamfish that will eventually be installed as a mural at the terminal.
Spent several hours on this sunny day photographing architecture and people around Canada Place in downtown Vancouver. My wife Yumi met me there after work, and treated me to dinner at Happa Izakaya — thanks!

I took a pre-dinner walk around Byrne Creek ravine in south Burnaby, and though the rain had slowed to a drizzle the amount of water roaring through the creek was impressive.
There were great gaggles of homo sapiens sapiens photographerensis on the Boundary Bay dyke near 72nd today.
This is fast becoming an international destination for nature photogearheads. There must have been nearly half a million dollars of photo gear on the dyke today.
And this is what had all the photogs salivating today — likely the same short-eared owl that I shot there a week or two ago. This owl ought to get an agent and start cashing in .
