NOTE TO READER:
In the Blue Ecology Workshop in November 2017, Michael Blackstock (creator of the Blue Ecology paradigm) teamed with Member of Parliament Fin Donnelly, the Partnership for Water Sustainability’s Ted van der Gulik, and the CBC’s Bob McDonald (host, Quirks & Quarks) and to share their unique and complementary perspectives on a water-first approach. The Fraser River was a centrepiece for the workshop program.
Kim Stephens, Executive Director of the Partnership for Water Sustainability, was the workshop faciliator/moderator.
