Interview with Alvin “Bear” Scow

Interview with Alvin “Bear” Scow (click to watch on our YouTube Channel)

One of the highlights of 2025 for us was the privilege of interviewing Alvin “Bear” Scow.
 
With footage shot by Jolly Good Multimedia and beautifully edited by our summer student Will, Bear shared his stories and knowledge of fishing on the Coast.
 
His experiences, humour, and perspective offer a window into a way of life deeply woven into our maritime heritage. We are honoured to help preserve it and grateful to Bear for being so generous with his time and knowledge.
 
We hope you enjoy this film as much as we did. To everyone involved: thank you. Because of your time, skill, and heart, this oral history will continue to be shared for years to come.
