Until Dec. 31, the Tri-City News looks back on some of our favourite photos from 2024.
Each day, we are posting one image along with commentary about what it took to get that photo and the story it conveys.
For the past several years, a multi-generational team of paddlers have been intermittently making its way down the Fraser River from Spences Bridge to New Westminster.
The Grandmothers Healing Journey replicates the migration of salmon and the paddlers stopped at various First Nations communities along the way to collect memories and mementos that signify that migration and its importance to their connection with ancestral lands.
The Haida canoe they’re using is huge.
But against the enormity of the Port Mann Bridge and the Fraser River itself, the journey of the fish and the paddlers is dwarfed by the challenges they face.
