The Heart of the Fraser – Valentines Dinner & Film Screening
On Friday, February 14th, join us for a film screening and dinner at the Denman Island Community Hall!
Denman Conservancy Association and the Association for Denman Island Marine Stewards are collaborating to bring you a screening of The Heart of the Fraser, a documentary produced by Dr. Ken Ashley and the BCIT Rivers Institute. Dr. Ashley will be there to introduce the film, and is generously donating 5 copies of the companion book as door prizes.
This 2019 film highlights one of the most valuable ecosystems in the world, the Fraser River. This critical ecosystem is under constant pressure from urbanization, agricultural expansion and industrial development. Habitat loss and climate change are existential threats to wild Pacific salmon and sturgeon stocks and the myriad wildlife and people that depend on them. With fewer spawning adults returning every year, this documentary reveals what is quietly happening out of sight from most British Columbians, and makes a plea to stop agricultural expansion on these critical flood plain islands and protect the Heart of the Fraser River in perpetuity for future generations.
Come for a Valentine’s dinner and the film, or just for the film.
