Millions of people around the world celebrate #WorldRiversDay on the fourth Sunday of September. This event was started in 1980 in BC by Mark Angelo, river conservationist, and the BC Outdoor Recreation Council. From there Mark's vision has encircled the globe. In 2017, 2018 and 2021, Cowichan Tribes and the Cowichan #Stewardship Roundtable co-hosted #QuwutsunRiver Day. #Cowichan Tribes is the largest band in BC and is active on many fronts doing #RiverStewardship. Cowichan Stewardship Roundtable was founded with Cowichan Tribes and #conservation groups more than 20 years ago. It is a #grassroots group promoting collaboration on solving #watershed issues.
