About Rafe Mair
Rafe Mair, Official Spokesperson for Save Our Rivers Society, is a former Socred BC Environment Minister and hall of
fame broadcaster, who writes today for popular online journal, the Tyee. Mair built his reputation as an eloquent, fiery,
highly entertaining broadcaster who tells it like it is, during his 19-year run at CKNW. Often the highest-rated radio show host in Canada, Mair was rewarded with every major broadcasting accolade in the country, including the Bruce Hutchinson Lifetime Achievement Award from the Jack Webster Foundation.
In recent years, Mair has been an outspoken advocate for saving BC’s wild salmon from fish farms, and now for protecting BC’s watersheds and public power system - a legacy of Socred Premier WAC Bennett - from the Campbell Liberals’ private river power agenda. Mair has called the battle to save our rivers, “the greatest challenge British Columbians have faced,” and the defining battle of a long career speaking out for the environment and people of BC.
