Story & Experience
I just got back from the Peace River a couple of days ago. It was a 2-day exhausting drive there, and 2 days back. We did have an amazing Paddle for the Peace with a couple of hundred participants, and also a smaller group got together that evening to do an Earth Exchange. It was a very emotional time since it’s very possible that the dam will go ahead (they’ve already logged a portion of the riverbank in preparation) although a court case has been filed and will be heard this month. So our group of 9 felt it was not appropriate to take a picture of the group. Some people participated in a joint offering on the bank (see picture) and others gave their offering directly to the river.
