Linda Dayan Frimer
Linda is an award-winning artist, cultural facilitator, and environmental champion. Born in the gold-mining town of Wells, BC, she has created art since childhood.
Absorbing the impact of stories overheard of the Second World War, she retreated to the forested world surrounding her home. The worlds of culture and nature were inseparable as she sought to protect the spirit within them. She co-authored a book, In Honor of Our Grandmothers, and co-founded the Gesher Holocaust project.
Working in watercolour, acrylic, and oil, her murals hang in synagogues and hospitals. Commissions and donations include Vancouver General Hospital, Children’s Hospital, Canadian Cancer Foundation, and the AIDS Memorial Project. Her paintings have benefited the Western Canada Wilderness Committee, Trans Canada Trail, Canadian Red Cross, and Raincoast Conservation Foundation and have helped to raise invaluable funds. More importantly, they have an emotional impact that can create real change.

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.
