Revelstoke resident Mindy Brugman wants to improve food security and fisheries and ecosystem health in the Upper Columbia Basin.
On Nov. 18 at 6:30 p.m. she is inviting the community to participate in an open discussion on a proposal for changes to the Upper Columbia River that could improve food security and the long term viability of local ecosystems through modified dam operations.
“The impact on ecosystems as well as fisheries, return of wild salmon, valley forest and wetland ecosystems and farmland will be discussed,” said Brugman in a news release.
