Salmon support
Powell River Salmon Society (PRSS) will receive an additional $600 support from Pacific Western Brewing, which provided $2,000 in 2014, to aid its work in rebuilding salmon stocks and rehabilitating habitat.
“PRSS was formed in 1982, at the point where a drastic reduction of salmon stocks was becoming truly evident,” said Rob Helm, society director.
