 It's so TRAGIC that the Cowichan River is Drying Up and could completely dry up by the end of the month unless they get a huge rainfall.  http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2012/10/07/bc-cowichan-salmon.html

The Cowichan Tribes have stopped fishing

On Twitter I read that Volunteers are also trucking salmon up the river http://www.cfax1070.com/News/Top-Stories/Cowichan-River-too-dry-for-salmon-run-volunteers-t

My daughter pointed out, the bears are going to be very sad, not to mention many other creatures because there will be a lack of other animals in the forest because of the shortage of fish.  The Cowichan is a Gorgeous Green Rainforest with many  many animals depending on it, this truly is a huge environmental disaster and I hope people realize the seriousness of this situation, take responsibility, and take action quickly.

The changes in BC from global warming, natural disasters and other culprits are deeply saddening indeed. =( I haven't felt much of the difference in Vancouver... yet, so it's good to be reminded of what's happening right outside of the city. I signed the petition! =)

Thanks Samantha, I'm doing all I can to spread the word, and they have over 600 signatures already. So it's working. I appreciate your support and I hope you can visit the Cowichan River some day, it's life changing. A power spot, like Zipolite and Kitsilano. :)
