HAVING FUN: William Lament is looking for specimens as part of his coastal ecology summer camp experience through Powell River Salmon Society.

qathet Regional District’s (qRD) committee of the whole is recommending the regional board provide a letter of support to Powell River Salmon Society for its grant application to BC Gaming.

At the August 2 committee of the whole meeting, directors reviewed correspondence from the salmon society, asking for a letter of support to help retain the society’s education coordinator.

According to the correspondence, the salmon society has greatly expanded its educational program during the last few years, and in order to sustain this effort, a dedicated staff member is required to focus on running the program. The society was able to find a candidate this year through the BC Job Creation program and wants to extend her service.
