Stand Up for SELE₭TEȽ (Goldstream Park)
August 26 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 pm
For the past 2½ years WSÁNEĆ elder Carl Olsen has stood next to the highway along the Goldstream River. SELE₭TEȽ (Goldstream Park) is a site of cultural heritage in unceded W̱SÁNEĆ territory and home to populations of chum, coho and chinook salmon, and a multitude of other aquatic and terrestrial life. Hundreds, indeed thousands, of people visit the park every year to watch the salmon returning. 162$M have been budgeted and contracted already to “improve safety” by removal of healthy trees upslop eand supporting riverbanks downslope (even intruding into the stream physically). Join the protesters every Tuesday at 10:00am.
