Today members of our staff took part in the Climate Strike in downtown Victoria and we support them and the thousands of people demanding action on Climate Change. Our owner also committed to making a donation to the Pacific Salmon Foundation who are doing excellent work restoring Salmon habitat. This work does not just benefit the Salmon but also the many species that rely on wild Salmon, including the Southern Resident Orcas! Salmon Habitat restoration often involves restoring forests and rivers, all vital to helping combat climate change. We believe every little bit helps and we can all make our own contribution big or small. #noplanetb #welikeourwhaleswild #salishseaorcas #pacificsalmonfoundation
