Tofino’s new police station ready to serve ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

The Tofino RCMP has officially moved into its new detachment building after operating out of a modified residence on Lone Cone Road for the past two years.

“We’re super excited to be moving into the new space,” Cpl. Stu Hert told the Westerly News inside the new $10 million building at 400 Campbell Street on Friday.

The building was paid for by the provincial and federal governments and Hert said it was a significant and needed investment because the former detachment was “way too small” to accommodate effective police work.

“It was old, it was out of date and it was very cramped. It was not keeping up with the modern needs of policing,” he said. “This [new] space is high-tech, modern, efficient, and it’s future proof. This community is growing at a significant rate and is becoming more and more popular with tourists and new residents year over year. We as police are getting busier year over year.”

He said the new detachment was designed with an eye on the community’s anticipated growth over the next 50 years.

“There’s room to grow in here. As we add resources, inevitably, as the community continues to grow and we get busier, there’s space for additional members to come work in here and join the team,” he said.

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Construction on the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve’s 22 kilometre multi-use trail has started up again after a temporary winter hiatus.

The Park Reserve issued a notice last week advising drivers to expect delays of up to 10 minutes on Wick Road. The notice states Wick Road is the first site for the crew to tackle this year because environmental consultants suggested the area’s stream crossings are currently dry and there is little risk to fish.

The 22-kilometre trail that will span the Park Reserve’s boundaries and link Tofino and Ucluelet was announced in 2016 and was initially expected to cost $17.7 million, but the budget has since grown to $51 million.

Parks Canada spokesperson Kavitha Palanisamy told the Westerly News via email that about $10 million has been spent so far on designing the trail, clearing pathways and conducting in-depth studies, including a Detailed Impact Analysis and archeology reports.

“The DIA comprises a number of environmental, archaeological, traditional-use studies and visitor safety assessments, and is the foundational document informing this project.,” she wrote. “All work was and continues to be scheduled around environmental factors such as the migratory bird nesting period and the presence of fish in streams. We have environmental monitors on site while construction is underway to ensure we are responding to local realities on the ground as the timing of cycles such as salmon spawning can change year to year.”

Copies of the DIA can be requested at pc.pacrim.info.pc@canada.ca.

Throughout the trail’s design, the Park Reserve adapted the path’s alignment to lessen the path’s impact on the unique environment it’s being laid through and also followed a Traditional Use Study and advice from local First Nations to avoid any newly discovered archaeological sites.

“By being flexible and adaptable throughout the pathway-building process, we refined the pathway route and design to help reduce the risk of detrimental impacts to the National Park Reserve,” Palanisamy wrote.

Construction began at the Park Reserve’s

“All work was and continues to be scheduled around environmental factors, such as the migratory bird nesting period and the presence of fish in streams..”

– Kavitha Palanisamy northern border in 2016 where the trail bed was cleared and a new parking lot was created at Radar Hill. Over the winter of 2017-18, the route from Long Beach’s Incinerator Rock to the Park Reserve’s southern boundary was cleared and the felled trees were removed.

Following principles laid out by an Elders Working Group, the Park Reserve ensured that the removed cedar trees were used to create wooden elements along the pathway and all remaining trees were given to the Tla-o-quiaht and Ucluelet First Nations, according to Palanisamy.

The work now underway at Wick Road includes clearing trees, bringing in gravel, installing drainage culverts and building bridges.

Hazelwood Construction Services Ltd. has been contracted to complete the work after winning a bidding process that included an Indigenous Benefits Package, which tasked interested contractors with explaining how they would directly benefit members of the Tla-o-qui-aht and Ucluelet First Nations.

Palanisamy noted that the Indigenous Benefits Package commits Hazelwood to providing 34,400 hours of employment and 11,400 hours of training for members of the Tla-o-qui-aht and Ucluelet First Nations.

The trail is expected to be ready for public use in 2022.

“We will have a better sense of when the pathway could be open as the building progresses.

As stewards of the land, we are responsible for ensuring the building does not outpace our legal, environmental and social obligations,” Palanisamy wrote. “This includes our environmental obligations, such as respecting the nesting period for migratory birds, as well as minimizing disruption to visitors, where possible, and working with the challenges presented by wet conditions common in this coastal region.”

The Ucluelet Volunteer Fire Brigade members would like to thank the Army, Navy & Veterans Club #293 and the Ucluelet Culinary Club for organizing the First Annual Fathers Day Five Alarm Chili Competition, and for the generous donation!

New RCMP detachment in Tofino

He added it is also seismically sound, self-contained and equipped with a large generator to keep it operational in an emergency event.

“This building is seismically designed to handle whatever this area can throw at it,” he said adding there is enough space to accommodate Tofino’s emergency operations centre if needed. “It really suits our needs and the needs of the community.”

The Tofino RCMP has a six-member roster and also oversees the Ahousaht First Nation detachment’s four officers who will benefit from the new detachment as well, according to Hert.

“This space can now accommodate having that influx of members whereas, in the old space, they were fighting to find a corner of a desk where they could sit down and do their work,” he said.

While the old building was being torn down and the new one built, Tofino police did not have access to cells at the temporary Lone Cone site they moved into in May, 2017, so all prisoners have been transported to Ucluelet.

“That was a strain on police resources as well as difficult for the prisoners themselves,” Hert said.

“We provided bus vouchers for them to get back, or provided rides when our workloads permitted us to, but still, when you wake up in

A $300,000 cash infusion has flowed into the West Coast’s emergency preparedness coffers to help Tofino and Ucluelet stay safe if and when a tsunami strikes.

Both towns have received $150,000 each from the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ Community Emergency Preparedness Fund.

Tofino’s emergency program coordinator Keith Orchiston told the Westerly News that the district has been benefitting from the fund since it was launched by the UBCM in 2017, with previous years’ funding going towards flood mapping and risk assessment projects.

“It was great news to hear we were successful in our application,” he said. “Especially for small communities like ours, it makes such a huge impact and allows us to do things that we’ve been thinking about for a long time but haven’t had the funds or other resources to do.”

This year’s funding will go towards the creation of a tsunami

He thanked the Ucluelet RCMP for their support during the transition.

“We really appreciate the Ucluelet RCMP stepping up and assisting us over the past couple of years,” he said. “They were incredibly accommodating, opening their offices and their cells to us.

They supported us a lot and we appreciate that.”

The new detachment was officially open and operational Monday morning and Hert hopes residents feel welcome to come in for community services, like criminal records checks, as well as to report any suspicious activity.

“Safe homes, safe communities.

That’s really our ultimate goal as police and RCMP, to maintain the

safety and the comfort of all people within the community,” he said.

“So, if you see something that makes you feel uncomfortable within your community, let us know. It might be something, it might be nothing, but we can take a look into it and help ensure that everyone feels safe, welcome and comfortable within the community that they live.”

risk mitigation plan.

“Now that we have all of this information, we know what the hazard is and who’s at risk, what are we going to do about it? That’s what this plan is all about. It’s about developing a comprehensive and effective program for managing the tsunami risk to Tofino,” Orchiston said.

“There’s constantly new information and data out there and we’re actually starting to become data-rich with all the assessments that we’ve done over the past couple of years. So, this is putting that information to good use now so that we can refine our evacuation routes and the strategies we use to mitigate tsunami risks to reduce the impacts to our community.”

He said increasing public awareness is the most effective tsunami mitigation strategy and noted the district currently has a survey running online to gauge the preparedness of its residents.

He said the survey has been well received with over 150 responses so far and added that anyone who fills out the survey is eligible to win a Black Diamond emergency kit grand prize.

The survey is available at www. tofino.ca.

“What we’re seeing from the preliminary survey results is that people are aware of the risk and quite knowledgeable about it,” he said.

Ucluelet’s $150,000 will go towards a flood mapping, risk assessment and mitigation project, according to the town’s Chief Administrative Officer Mark Boysen.

“The District of Ucluelet, being surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean and its proximity to the Cascadia subduction zone, is a community that is acutely affected by the incremental and sudden changes to ocean conditions like storm surges, king tides, storm

waves, climate change, sea level rise, and coastal erosion,” Boysen told the Westerly News via email.

He said the purpose of the project “is to engage a qualified professional engineering consultant experienced in coastal engineering to develop a flood risk assessment, flood plain mapping, establish a flood construction level, identify sea level rise planning areas, and identify flood hazards for the development of future land use policy.”

The UBCM’s Community Emergency Preparedness Fund dished out $3 million to 22 local and regional governments this year, according to Mid Island-Pacific Rim MLA Scott Fraser who was happy to see both Tofino and Ucluelet on the list.

“Everybody wants to feel safe in their community and that is especially true on the coast,” Fraser said through a media release. “This funding will go a long way in ensuring Tofino and Ucluelet have the resources they need to plan ahead and be better prepared for natural disasters.”

EDITORIAL

Wading through the PR tsunami post-pipeline approval Unlike an earthquake, Tuesday’s federal government “green light” on the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project (TMX) was entirely predictable.

But like an earthquake in the ocean, it came with the requisite tsunami, this one a wave of press releases washing across newsroom desks across B.C. As soon as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the approval, in they came. By the time I left the office Tuesday, I counted 19 press releases from political parties, business groups, Indigenous organizations, Trans Mountain itself and, of course, environmental activists. And that’s just as a B.C. journalist. I’m sure I’m not on everyone’s mailing list. Others may have seen many, many more. Depending on the point of view, the unsurprising announcement from a government that owns the pipeline in question, a decision to approve the twinning of the 1,150-kilometre pipeline,

tripling the capacity, was “stunning hypocrisy” (Rain Forest Action Network) or “disgraceful in a climate emergency” (Wilderness Committee or “a violent act against young people” (Sierra Club of BC). From supporters of the pipeline expansion it was tepid support at best, given the small-c conservative politicization of all things Trudeau and/or federally Liberal. If you hate Trudeau, but are pro-pipeline, the response needed to be a half-empty cup. Well before approval, before 7 a.m., the federal Conservatives put forth leader Andrew Scheer’s response. Building a pipeline is a decision he would have clearly also made, but one he had to criticize: “Cabinet Decision on TMX Meaningless Without Construction Date: Scheer.” A political “yes, but” response.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business was the least passive-aggressive in support of the decision: “We are pleased to see the federal

government’s final decision today granting approval of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion (TMX) Project. After more than seven years of review, it’s time to get shovels in the ground.”

The BC Liberal Caucus naturally used the decision to lambaste the governing NDP: “‘Today’s decision by the federal government sends a clear message to John Horgan and the NDP: The time for obstruction is over – their government needs to get out of the way and support this project.’”

Of those initial 19 press releases, the majority were Indigenous groups and environmental organizations issuing missives written long ago, knowing Trudeau would say yes to TMX. From the Sierra Club to Greenpeace to Stand.

Earth to the David Suzuki Foundation, the messages were clear. From Greenpeace: “For the Trudeau government to approve this pipeline after declaring a climate emergency makes about as

much sense as pouring gasoline on a burning fire.”

As for Indigenous leaders, the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs is not impressed. Their headline: “Canada Approves TMX Despite Failing to Achieve Consent: Declaration of Climate Emergency Rings Hollow.”

Tsleil-Waututh Chief Leah George-Wilson called Trudeau’s approval “disappointing” if “not surprising” and vows to fight it in court.

Those who hate Trudeau, hate Trudeau no matter what he does, this file proves it. Those who support environmental responsibility are unsurprised by Scheer’s derision but are left disappointed by a Prime Minister who declared a climate emergency one day and approved the tripling of a pipeline to get diluted bitumen from Alberta to tidewater the next.

B.C. LIBERALS CALL FOR TAX RELIEF FOR STRUGGLING FOREST INDUSTRY

TOFINO HATCHERY WRAPS UP SUCCESSFUL SEASON

Why bail out an industry that has had no respect for forests?

Eileen Floody

That’s appalling that the feds only give $8,000 of our taxes. Don’t the salmon charter companies donate anything? Municipal or provincial governments?

The forest industry was ruined a long time ago. Just giving them a tax relief is just band-aid solution. My husband worked in the forest industry for many many years, the final blow seemed to be allowing the U.S. to take ‘logs’ without being processed, taking all of that labour away from our sawmills, along with other problems, it has been a shame. The workers’ jobs were not protected, when they should have been.

Barbara Canil

Jason Hayes-Holgate

Only if they start processing the lumber in BC Mills!

Marty Kukler

That’s where they get a lot of their funding from in order to sustain the hatchery- from local charter companies and businesses hosting fundraisers and donating a portion of the sales back to the hatchery work.

Toquaht Nation officially opened a new $1.35M marina, campground and kayak launch at Secret Beach on June 21, National Indigenous Peoples Day. Located about a 30-minute drive from Ucluelet in the heart of Barkley Sound, Secret Beach is hailed as the gateway to the Broken Group Islands in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve.

“Our journey, our choice, our future. That is what we as a Maa-nulth Treaty Nation have taken on,” said Chief Anne Mack at the Grand Opening event. “This is our motto. Our journey is now in our own hands. Today is one of the days to prove that we are now our own government that is pursuing our own economic development that benefits not just us, but the whole community and surrounding area,” said Chief Mack, who has been governing Toquaht Nation since 2009.

The construction of Toquaht’s new marina was supported with a $950,000 contribution from the Government of British Columbia and $400,000 investment from Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET).

The first phase of the development includes: a 40-slip marina, construction of a new double-wide boat launching ramp, a new marina access road, parking facilities, and breakwater at Secret Beach.Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Scott Fraser wrote a congratulatory letter to Chief Mack on behalf of the province.

“The leap forward that you celebrate today is a fitting illustration of your Nation’s hard work and commitment to seize an opportunity that will benefit your community and the entire region. You are providing services and resources that will greatly benefit those who will come to enjoy the beauty of Toquaht Lands and Barkley Sound,” read Fraser’s letter.

“I appreciate the strong relationship we have with the Toquaht Nation and look forward to a continuing partnership based on respect and recognition of rights to make life better for everyone in Toquaht Nation and the entire region,” the letter concludes.

Tofino Mayor Josie Osborne spoke at the Secret Beach Marina opening on behalf of ICET.

“Our journey, our choice, our future. That is what we as a Maanulth Treaty Nation have taken on.”

– Chief Anne Mack “ICET was established about 13 years ago by the province of British Columbia and it was established for northern, western and middle of Vancouver Island to help the transition away from a traditional resource sector base economy that was struggling a little bit and to help communities like Toquaht and other municipalities, regional districts, and First Nations, begin to diversify their economies,” said Osborne.

“And what we see here today is such a shining example of a community that sees a future for itself, and needs a little bit of extra help,” she said.

Rick Shafer, Toquaht’s economic development manager, said he hopes everyone can appreciate just how difficult it is to get a new marina built.

“I can probably count on one hand the complete new marinas that have been built on the Coast of B.C. in the last 20 years,” said Shafer at the Grand Opening.

“From all the environmental studies and the permitting that’s involved before you can even start construction, it’s a very daunting task. It’s great to see that Toquaht had the vision and the dedication to stick to it and get it done,” he said.

“There is still more coming,” said Chief Mack at the end of her speech. “This is the beginning.”

According to a media release issued by ICET, the Marina is the first phase of a broader plan that will transform Secret Beach into a regional tourism hub. Future developments will include the construction of a common building with café, gift shop and meeting rooms, rental cabins, kayak comfort station and other infrastructure to support cultural tourism.

The project is expected to create approximately three person-years of new construction phase jobs as well as 15 permanent local jobs within a three to five year term, notes the media release.

Restored Navy vessel offers unique experiences NORA O’MALLEY nora.omalley@westerlynews.ca

Back in 2008, departed West Coast fisherman Donald Stanley Cameron bought a 1955 Yard Auxiliary Gate (YAG) training vessel at a military auction for the sweet ticket price of $4,500.

Sweeter still, he split the cost with one of his kids, Ryan Cameron, and they set about restoring the old Canadian Navy warship back to its glory days. Don, who passed peacefully at the Tofino General Hospital on Nov. 15, 2018, would spend the last decade of his life with the help of his wife Patty transforming the Navy relic once known as the ‘Badger 319’ into the ‘Pretty Girl’.

“It was a full time job,” said Ryan, remembering his dad rowed every piece of wood and every tool out to the ship in a dingy. “He had boards and stuff stacked on the edge, tittering over.”

Don’s dream was to convert the Badger into a Mother Ship for exploring—and protecting —the West Coast.

“My dad always wanted to give people experiences and reconnect them to nature.”

– Ryan Cameron “We are carrying on exactly what his vision was. To get the boat finished and to make it protector of the Coast,” said Ryan, who is one of six in the Cameron brood.

In partnership with photographer and first mate Douglas Ludwig, captain Ryan launched Tiicmis Wilderness & Wellness Retreats, a travel adventure company offering tours of the Barkley Sound, Clayoquot Sound, and Nootka.

Ludwig describes the Nuu-chah-nulth word ‘Tiicmis’ as being broad like love.

“You can’t really describe it. It’s like the life force. The ‘mis’ part represents your heart and

the ‘Tiic’ part, might be the environment. We wanted something that represented spirit and life force because there is so much more going on. This boat is alive; there is sweat and tears in here. We know that we are connected to the ocean and the forest here,” said Ludwig.

Ryan hopes the vessel will be used as a tool for the community.

“Working with youth and especially the First Nations is very important,” he said, adding that one of the first trips they did as Tiicmis was taking the young Warriors up Effingham Inlet.

“We want to teach people to get off their phone and get back to looking, observing, and appreciating where you live and what we have,” Ryan said. “My dad always wanted to give people experiences and reconnect them to nature.”

Already, Tiicmis is partnering with friends and local tour operators, like Kevin Bradshaw from Hello Nature Kayaking and Raph

Bruhwiler from Ground Swell Adventures.

“We can do so much more with working with each other,” said Ryan.

Bradshaw said the collaboration with Tiicmis is a continuation of what Don would have wanted. “[The YAG] provides a level of comfort for guests we couldn’t get anywhere. This one boat answers all the questions: we get to see the highlights and we get a good night sleep,” said Bradshaw.

The restored 75-foot ship sleeps 10 guests and three crew passengers.

“It encompasses so much. The boat has a life force and flow going,” said Ludwig.

From the bow to the stern, the hull of the ship is made from one solid piece of wood, notes Ryan. There is no joinery.

Above the restored helm, Ryan tacked an old photo of his dad at the wheel.

“I see him everywhere on the boat,” said Ryan.

Speed humps ahead in Ucluelet ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

A longstanding Ucluetian scuttlebutt might be nearing resolution as speed humps are being considered as a solution to stop drivers from speeding through Ucluelet’s playground zone on Peninsula Road.

Ucluelet’s municipal council has budgeted $80,000 to install four humps at the zone’s four crosswalk locations. Mayor Mayco Noel told the Westerly News the proposed humps are wide enough to double as crosswalks.

“They’re purpose built. They’re going to be right at the crosswalks and I think it’s going to be good.

And, if it doesn’t go good, we can unbolt them and put them somewhere else,” he said. “At the end

Ucluelet’s playground zone differs from a traditional school zone in that the 30km/h speed limit is in effect from dusk till dawn, 365 days a year. Residents, particularly

parents of school-aged children, have long expressed frustration over drivers not obeying that limit.

“Every time you go to a [Parent Advisory Council] meeting, that’s one of the conversation pieces,” Noel said. “We thought, ‘Let’s just

kill this conversation and get some speed bumps’…We’re all dropping off kids and it’s frightening the speed that everybody’s going through there.”

The district collected public feedback on the idea this month and Noel is confident the four humps will be installed prior to September’s new school season.

The district has had speed bumps stored in it’s public works yard for roughly 15 years, but Noel said those are too small to be suitable for the playground zone.

SKATE PARTY IN UCLUELET NORA O’MALLEY PHOTOS

The Ucluelet Co-op hosted a summer kick off and skate party on Friday afternoon in their parking lot. In addition to providing the space, the Co-op also donated hot dogs, popcorn and draw prizes for the kids. The District of Ucluelet staff made sure the concrete was swept and clear for the skaters, plus they supplied all the roller skates. DJ Ukee Rocks provided the groovy tunes and Ethereal Face Painting Tofino kept it festive with sparkly designs for all. The event was free with donations going to future roller skating events and skates for the local community.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Aries, are you up to stepping outside of your comfort zone? Embrace the challenge and try something completely different from your normal routine. You just may like it.

Scorpio, even though it seems like there are many obstacles in your path, you will be able to get through relatively unscathed if you have the right people on your side.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

Let problems flow over you like water off of a duck’s back, Taurus. Worrying will only make things worse, and it’s completely unproductive anyway.

Sagittarius, relaxation is essential right now, as you have had many things on your plate.

Do not feel like you are slacking off if you take some time to give yourself a break.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Work on nurturing a relationship that has been pushed to the side for some time, Gemini. Rekindling communication is a great way to start things off anew.

Let others in your family know how you are feeling. You don’t have to put on a show or mask your emotions, Capricorn. They’ll love and support your decisions.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Keep an open mind when someone presents an idea to you, Cancer. It’s easy to blow it off without a thought, but you should be more amenable to listening and advising.

Have faith in your decisions even if they don’t entirely make sense on paper, Aquarius. You will have a line of supporters waiting in your corner in no time at all.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20

Now may be the time to share responsibilities with others, Leo. This is especially true if you are facing deadlines and simply cannot meet them in time.

Pisces, things are changing rapidly in your life and you may feel like you have to play catch up. Target some areas to focus your attention.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS

Accept help when it is offered, Virgo. This makes helpful people feel good that they can do you a service. You will have an opportunity to reciprocate in time.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Not everyone is on board with your new plan, Libra. You may have to present it a few times before you get a few takers. Be persistent to win others over.

Tofino-Ucluelet Westerly News

Wildfire extinguished A wildfire burning in the Alberni Valley is now under control. The fire, which was burning in slash at Taylor Flats near the west end of Sproat Lake, is being patrolled and monitored, according to Coastal Fire Centre information officer Dorthe Jakobsen. The fire was half a hectare in size when it was reported on Sunday, June 16, but Jakobsen said on Monday morning that the fire did experience “some growth” overnight, and was listed at almost two hectares.

“We predict that it’s going to be a slow mop-up because of the unseasonably dry conditions,” said Jakobsen on Tuesday. On Sunday afternoon, there was some concern about the fire’s proximity to Highway 4. RCMP were on site all day to provide road control, but they did not return on Monday.

“I’m told there’s not even a smoke concern for the highway,” said Jakobsen. The cause of the fire has not been determined at this point, and Jakobsen said the investigation might take a while.

“We suspect that it’s human-caused,” she said on Tuesday. “But it’s still under investigation.”.

– www.albernivalleynews.com Nanaimo police investigating suspicious fire Firefighters responded to an alarm at the Country Club Manor apartment building on Glen Eagle Crescent shortly before 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 18, to find a fire burning on the ground floor patio at the back of the building.

“Someone saw the fire and pulled the alarm, so the residents evacuated,” said Capt. Ennis Mond, Nanaimo Fire Rescue chief fire prevention officer, who investigated the fire.

Mond would not say what materials were used to set the fire, as part of protecting the police investigation, but said the flames had managed to spread

ISLAND IN BRIEF

into cedar siding that was part part of the support structure for a second-floor balcony. Firefighters contained the damage to the immediate area of the fire. There were no reported injuries. Nanaimo RCMP confirmed police are investigating.

– www.nanaimobulletin.com Pipeline protesters demonstrate in Victoria Trans Mountain pipeline protesters kicked off a march on Saturday Morning in downtown Victoria. Organized by a group called Rise and Resist, the Still No Consent! No Trans Mountain!

20 kilometre march began in Centennial Square.

The protesters began to gather at 8 a.m. while marshalls met to prepare for the day.

A blessing, speeches, songs and drumming all helped get the protesters of all ages in the mood to march. Many were planning on walking the entire route, but others brought their bikes.

Gregg McElroy from the Canadian Orca Rescue Society was one of the people carrying an inflatable orca. The organization brings the inflatables to many local events, he explained.

“Let’s work together,” said McElroy. “One voice can’t be heard in the wilderness, but a million voices can be heard across this nation.”.
