Interests:
Quiet Wilderness Experience - With no industry or city noise, the upper Shuswap is a natural, quiet space to recreate and reenergize. Non motorized movement on the river blends in with the natural flow and sounds of the river, so it allows for wildlife sightings along the way.
Space to Paddle – Since the upper Shuswap is quite narrow and windy, sharing the river with motorized boats and the waves they produce is a problem for paddlers and takes away from the experience.
Clean & Clear Water - The Shuswap is one of very few rivers with clean and very clear water, which we would like to protect from contamination such as gasoline and oil, and sediment disturbances, caused by motorized vessels.
Equal Rights - At this point most Canadian waters are open to motorized use, but very few are reserved for non-motorized use. Our interest is that the upper Shuswap river become a sanctuary for non-motorized, low impact recreation, such as paddling.
