RVM 10-10-10 Join the salmon run

Raincoast  is an Official Pledge Charity of the 31st Annual Royal Victoria Marathon!

Did you know that some Fraser River sockeye salmon swim upstream the equivalent of 12 full marathons?  Join our Raincoast Salmon Run team, and help us reach our goal of walking and running 12 full marathons and our financial goal of $30,000.

Your efforts support our Raincoast Kids interactive programs inspiring children and youth interested in Raincoast’s science and conservation initiatives to protect British Columbia’s wild salmon.

Contact Raincoast today to support our team and proudly wear a Salmon Run bracelet from now until RVM 10-10-10.   Christine Hewitt   Email: marathon [at] raincoast [dot] org    Tel: 250.655.1229, ext 227

You can help

Raincoast’s in-house scientists, collaborating graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors make us unique among conservation groups. We work with First Nations, academic institutions, government, and other NGOs to build support and inform decisions that protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them. We conduct ethically applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for conservation deliberations and the collective body of scientific knowledge.

We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
