The Spirit Orcas are a group of six developmentally disabled adults with big hearts and lots of courage. In July 2019 they swam the length of Gunboat Passage to Bella Bella in the traditional territory of the Heiltsuk Nation and Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest. The swim is helping prepare the Spirit Orcas for their eventual swim across the English Channel.
Swimmers: Cheyenne Furlong-Goos, Dixon McGowan, Drew Sabourin, Maria Sharock, Ben Vanlierop, Aly White.
