Save Our Rivers

Save Our Rivers Society was formed by citizens from communities being affected by another manufactured energy crisis. The BC Energy Plan was created to respond to the BC energy crisis. The government that implemented it is still the ruling government in BC.  By the time some of BC's citizens were able to catch up tp what was really going on with our rivers there were about ten rivers in development as private run river power projects.  Almost all of these projects were located in remote areas that saw very little pubic interest. 

As the rights of the people of British Columbia began to be removed to give corporations easier access to our rivers people from Pemberton and Squamish decided to do what the government would not. They decided to get together to tell the people of BC what was going on.  After several informal names Save Our Rivers Society was formed by these same citizens.
