Christopher Smith is passionate about our local fish! In more ways than one.

Christopher Smith is a passionate artist and environmentalist, and both his art and his work in the community, revolve around fish. As an artist, he creates life-like and life-size salmon and cutthroat trout in glass. And out in the community, Christopher works with local organizations to assist in the restoration of our rivers and streams. Right now, the focus is on Shelley Creek, in the Parksville area of Vancouver Island.
