We take a walk through Tod Inlet, or SṈIDȻEȽ, with author and photographer Gwen Curry. Now a protected area in Gowlland Tod Provincial Park, the waterway has lived many lives. A culturally significant site to the W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations, the Inlet was severely degraded by industrial activity, and became home to workers of Chinese, Indian, and European descent.
