History

Thank you!

"The Georgia Strait Alliance (GSA) was formed in 1990 by a small group of concerned citizens responding to increased pollution and damage to the marine habitat. To raise public awareness, a “human powered” crossing of the 29 kilometer Strait was organized and resulted in hundreds of people swimming, paddling, rowing and even wind-surfing across Georgia Strait. The event was repeated annually for five years."
