Arm of the Nanaimo River estuary in fall colours
Caught last night's premiere of Paul Manly's 'Voices of the River', an excellent 45 minute documentary film about the Nanaimo River watershed. It was good to see both showings were sold out for this moving film about how development pressures and the push for economic growth trumps the needs of wildlife, First Nations treaty rights, public access and enjoyment of this part of our natural heritage, and even protecting the watershed that supplies our drinking water. Let's hold our political leaders accountable and make Island Timberlands and its owner Brookfield Asset Mgmt know that we are no longer going to let our future be sold down the river for subdivisions and logging that benefits shareholders who have no ties our community.
