Mamalilikulla Chief Winidi, or John Powell, wiggles his pitchfork back and forth to loosen the sand and gravel along a remote stretch of beach in the Broughton Archipelago, sandwiched between Vancouver Island and the BC mainland. As he churns over layers of sediment, a fistful of clams surface with a couple of disturbingly large, fiery red marine worms that flail hundreds of legs to rapidly burrow back into the sand. "Look at all those worms. That's a good sign," Powell said.

"As a young kid, you could make $10 to $20 a night," he said. "In the 1960s and 70s, that was big money." However, this April, Powell's not working for pocket money. During the last zero tide of the clam season, Powell has joined more than a dozen people labouring to revitalize an ancient clam garden so it can continue sustaining the nation's culture, food security and climate resilience.

Controversial Conservative candidate Aaron Gunn ended his successful campaign the same way he started it: by keeping his whereabouts secret and avoiding questions from the media.
