Pacific Salmon and their Circle of Life
May 5, 2021
Bob Turner “has just posted a new short movie on my YouTube channel – “Pacific Salmon and their Circle of Life”. The movie is a collaboration with the Salmon in the Classroom program run by Fisheries and Oceans Canada and its education coordinator, Bev Bowler. The movie tells the story of the life cycle of salmon, and is tailored to curricula taught in our BC schools. The Salmon in the Schools program, along with the related Salmon Enhancement Program that operates community hatcheries like the one we have here on Bowen Island, create deep and vital links between salmon, children, teachers and community members. I can think of no other program that fosters such deep and enduring relationships between a wild animal species and us, and for that I am truly grateful. So it was a great pleasure to work with Bev to create a movie that deepens that connection.” – Bob Turner https://youtu.be/PHKsXQrl41c
