The Friends of Kootenay Lake Podcast Series: Voices of the Lake was created by the Friends of Kootenay Lake Stewardship Society (FOKLSS), a non-profit organization based out of Nelson BC. This podcast is an informative and engaging hub for information sharing where listeners can learn about work being done in the Kootenay Lake Basin from anywhere. Hosts Camille LeBlanc, FOKLSS Program Manager, and Kayla Tillapaugh, Assistant Program Manager interview local experts, scientists, historians, advocates, artists, cultural leaders, recreationalists, and storytellers in various fields. Our vision for this podcast is to bring local communities together around our shared love and curiosity of Kootenay Lake. Each episode features music from local musicians, making the podcast a celebration of Kootenay Lake, its people, and its culture.
