Faces of the Fraser: The Confluence
Faces of the Fraser is an informal opportunity for the community to learn more about the role played by the mighty Fraser in our daily lives. Presentations are followed by a Q&A session.
Looking to connect with others in the environmental sector? Join us for The Confluence, an evening mixer designed to spark honest conversations, new relationships, and bold ideas.
Working in the environmental field can sometimes feel isolating. This event brings professionals together for thought-provoking discussions, community-building, and meaningful networking. The evening will begin with a keynote by Jason Hwang, Vice President of the Pacific Salmon Foundation, followed by facilitated small-group activities exploring how our field can adapt to a changing political landscape — what to watch for in the coming years and what we may need to rethink or leave behind.
Come ready to challenge assumptions, share perspectives, and leave with fresh insight into your work.
Light refreshments will be served.
