Swim. Drink. Fish. The message was as crisp and clear as the waters they are trying to protect. The Fraser Riverkeepers Gala, held at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia in Vancouver, was a delight for all the senses. Fabulous food, famous faces and a live music lineup that rivals most award shows – this was a night to remember as every detail helped remind us that our waterways, rivers, oceans and streams are one of the Earth’s most valuable commodities.
