I was watching the news this week and I saw a segment on “The Urban Salmon Project”. In that segment, they told the story of a Brazilian photographer who, living in North Vancouver, came across the spawning salmon in a nearby creek. Accustomed to taking photos of wildlife in Brazil, he began to document the salmon with his camera.
In speaking with friends and neighbours, he was surprised how many people were unaware of the fascinating salmon life cycle happening right in their midst. The Urban Salmon Project is the first underwater documentation of salmonids in the Urban Watershed-two subjects we have been learning about in our class.
This Thursday night, there will be a 12-minute film premiere on youtube. I am hoping that the film will stay on youtube long enough for me to show the class, but in case it doesn’t, I thought I’d put it out for you to share as families.
Documentary Premier!
*PREMIERE WILL BE LIVE ON MARCH 4TH @ 7:00PM / PST –
