Remembering Roderick Haig-Brown

Several years ago, Armand and I visited the Haig-Brown Heritage Property near Campbell River, BC. We spent some time exploring the trails that run through the property, which is on the banks of the Campbell River.

The past Sunday, Sept 26, (also World Rivers Day) the annual Haig-Brown Festival took place at the Heritage site.

Writing for Canada's Globe and Mail, Cinda Chavich notes that Roderick Haig-Brown "isn't as well known as he should be outside the fly-fishing world. A prolific Canadian outdoor writer, fly fisherman and conservationist, he was a visionary when it came to environmental advocacy."
