The Osoyoos launch of the Columbia River Watershed Storytelling Tour was a success! Sixty people turned out for the event, coming from as far away as Princeton, Hedley, Rock Creek and Penticton. People contributed thoughtful ideas to the ‘river’ of blue cloth. People said how much they appreciated the content of the evening, including the chance to share reflections with each other in the audience during the program.
