Date: March 19th, 2026
On March 19th, 2026, the POLIS Water Sustainability Project co-hosted a three-part celebration for World Water Day. The event began with a Water Sustainability Resource Fair. Then, we gathered at Cinecenta for a screening of Nechako: It Will Be a Big River Again (2025). Following the film, Laura Brandes (POLIS) spoke with writer/director Lyana Patrick (Stellat’en First Nation) and SȾHENEP Adam Olsen (Former MLA/Tsartlip First Nation). The full film and the post-film dialogue can both be viewed in full, below.
