I don’t think many of us would argue that 2020 was one of the most stressful and chaotic years on record. Moving into 2021 doesn’t change that, of course, but with vaccines now being delivered across the Skeena Region, there is hope on the way.
Over at Skeena Strong, our feeling for the year ahead is cautious optimism. And the vibe we are experiencing right now could be expressed in this video of skiers at Hudson Bay Mountain near Smithers cruising above the clouds, posted right before New Years: gratitude for the things we love in the Skeena and clarity about the challenges ahead.
