Ali Howard and her “Enchanted Swim Team” will be touring the province for the next 6 weeks showing slides from their epic journey down the Skeena River. Their adventure started in the grizzly friendly meadows of the Sacred Headwaters and took them through 610km of winding river and whitewater to the Pacific Ocean near Port Edward, BC. Ali is starting her tour in the same place she started her swim – in Tahltan territory and will work her way down the region. Sorry grown-ups, this tour starts with our youth – Ali will be visiting every single school in the watershed from November 4-27th before making her way to Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle in December. If you don’t see your school on the tour schedule, please call or email us and we’ll try to make sure we bring Ali by for a visit.

Only she could just finish working for 2 months straight with no days off as a chef, then jump into a 3 week tour of schools in the north, then a 10 day tour of Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle and Portland before going back to work as a chef for 4 months!!!
We are so blessed to have her as a member of our community!
