Fin Donnelly, swimming the Fraser River in 1995.

In 1995, Fin Donnelly swam the 1,300-kilometre-long Fraser River to draw attention to the need to save B.C.’s rivers, an epic three-week experience I was fortunate enough to be part of. Tonight, Fin was elected as a Member of Parliament, in a by-election in New Westminster-Coquitlam. Congratulations to one of the most sincere, dedicated and focussed individuals I have ever met.
