Big Dancing Fish

Twinned Watersheds Project:

Big Dancing Fish

Have you seen Stth'aqwi' do her happy dance? Cowichan’s new Chinook salmon mascot, also known as the Big Dancing Fish, drew attention to watershed concerns  throughout the summer of 2021. “Roving River Reporters” interviewed a wide variety of watershed stewards and shared what they learned online in images and short videos. (#BigDancingFish)
