Swimming the Skeena
zoomIn the June issue of explore, we ran a story on Alison Howard, a B.C. woman who was planning on swimming the entire 610-kilometre length of the Skeena River, to raise awareness of threats to the watershed.
The 33-year-old resident of Smithers started her swim on July 21, and since then has stroked her way through all sorts of challenging conditions. (You can read about her swim on the Spirit of the Skeena Swim website.)
Alison is expected to finish her swim this Saturday, at noon in Port Edward. You can show up to celebrate with her then, and there's also a party planned for 7:30 p.m. in Prince Rupert.
Congratulations to Alison!
