Core Migrators
Here's some information on some of the core migrators for our journey down the Island. Some people walked the whole way, some folks drove support vehicles, some popped in and out throughout our journey. We became family. Here's who we are (still a work in progress):
|
|
Alexandra Morton - Echo BayAlexandra was a walker by day, speaker by night and somehow still managed to keep up with her correspondance and make time to eat and sleep! For more background info on Alex see our About Us section. |

Anissa Reed - Qualicum BeachAnissa was the genius behind so many aspects of the Migration - the name, the t-shirt design, most of our banners and signs...She has an incredible ability to be creative and turn that vision into a reality. She also drove the RV each day, helped with logistics and sold t-shirts and other merchandise (that she designed all of!) at our events along the way. For more background info on Anissa see our About Us section. |

Don Staniford - Global CitizenDon was the glue that held the vision and the reality of the Migration together. He coordinated with people across the Island to help bring the media, events, presentations, rallies and protests together. He worked tirelessly on his laptop and cell phone to bring the story of the Migration on the road to the media and the public. For more information on Don, see our About Us section. |
 |
Megan Adams - SointulaMegan helped organize daily logistics, coordinate with community Migration leaders and maintain the website on the road. For more information on Megan, see our About Us section. |

Spencer GrimmBorn and raised in Vancouver. Summers from the age of five were spent on the Sunshine Coast; every moment in the water. He could not bare to leave the water for it was his truer home. The water is not a longing, but an obssession, a calling. Let the water be free by letting those bound to it be freer. Spencer is pursuing school in environmental, human, and aboriginal rights to protect those neglected. He was with us from our protest in Nanaimo to the end and became an integral part of the team. |

John PrenticeJohn is 49 going on 36, born and raised in Kerrisdale in Vancouver. John says, "All my life since I was a kid, I have enjoyed the great outdoors, camping, fishing, climbing Black tusk, and general wilderness camping in B.C." John came on the Get Out Migration as a photographer. |

Leah Robinson - Alert BayLeah walked the whole journey, along with her beautiful dog Solomon. Leah was one of our gracious and excellent cooks!  |
 |
Marie Fournier - Johnstone StraitMarie was with us from the very beginning. Along with Leah and Jesse, Marie was a wonderful and kind cook for our crew - a real nurturer! |
 |
Alexis Baker - VancouverAlexis was one of our video bloggers. She worked tirelessly to film by day, edit by night and walked the whole way. |
 |
Mark Worthing - SaanichMark was our other video blogger, who also took many wonderful photos and wrote lots of blog entries. He was with us from the very beginning and is now creek walking and gardening in the Broughton. |
 |
Luke Rogers - Malcom IslandLuke had the initiative to take on road safety, logistics and "I'll do anything you need me to do" stuff. He was with us from the beginning, even helping Alex and Megan plan in Sointula before the walk. |
 |
Bob Chamberlain - Gwa'yasdamsBob Chamerblain is the elected chief of the Gwa'yasdams Village in the Broughton Archipelago. He has fought long and hard to get salmon farms out of the water in his territory. He participated in the Migration as much as he could, popping up every couple of day. Bob took the time to teach us a song he wrote about Alex and the salmon. |
 |
Dave Parker - SointulaDave Parker was with us the whole way of the Migration. He became our leader on the road, our safety marshall, liason to the police and camp morale booster. Walk on Parker! |
 |
Kate Brauer - SointulaKate came with us for the whole Migration, lending her enthusiasm to the pre-trip planning in Sointula too. She generously offered her vehicle for support. |
 |
Troy Bright - SointulaTroy was only going to walk for the first afternoon...then stay for just the first night...then...he came the whole way! Troy was a valueable member of the Migration because of the attitude he brought and the fires he made us every evening. |
 |
Dave Kauffman - SointulaJess Tennant - SointulaThe Migration could not have happened without Dave & Jess. They hauled our support trailer (which carried all our food and most of our gear). After a long day of walking, we'd arrive to our campground to see our banners set up, the trailer ready for dinner and a fire smoking. Dave and Jess scouted ahead each day to make sure our evenings ran smoothly. On top of that, they provided us with incredible seafood along the way. Jess is also a great cook! |
Bruce Burrows - SointulaComing soon... |
|
 |
Jesse Howardson - SaanichJoining in the migration at Qualicum, Jesse came with the intention of bringing support to friends in any way possible. Lending energy to the culinary team of Leah and Marie, she also contributed time to petitioning, postering and photography. Currently, life has migrated up to the Broughton, where Jesse spends her days learning how to grow food on the Northeast coast. |
 |
Wil Shulba - SaanichWil started with the walk over an inspiring meeting in the center of Qualicum Beach. Wil helped out in logistics of getting people from here to there, keeping walkers hydrated and generally helping out whenever. Wil's full week with the migration took on more of a biological lecture series rather than an physical endeavor. As an environmental geoscientist and artist Wil hopes to add to the knowledge and education that the migration inspired. |
