I have no words to describe my experience swimming to the #GooseIsland in #HeiltsukTerritory - #GreatBearRainforest. I hope this video helps explain why.

Crystal Pool & Fitness Centre is home to Canada's first and only masters swim club for people with disability.
If Crystal Pool closes we will have no where to go.
Don't be like Trump and erase diversity.
On the February 8th referendum vote YES and vote SOUTH.
