Note to Reader:
In his closing synthesis at the Nanaimo Symposium, Bob Sandford connected the dots between his call to action at the public lecture the previous evening, and what he heard throughout the day of the symposium. His emphasis was on identifying action items that are tangible and possible, and would lead to restorative development in the mid-Vancouver Island region and beyond.
The essence of his message? Once we change our attitude, we will find the path to success.

“What we are essentially talking about is reconciliation: going back to the headwaters of where we got our relationships with water and with one another wrong so that we can start back down the river of time – this time together – with a full understanding of the importance of embracing a water-first approach to planning human interventions in the environment,” urges Bob Sandford.
