This Area may soon Disappear, if not for Your Help!

A proposed HydroElectric development will drastically change High Falls on the Grassy River. The scenic beauty of these rapids and waterfall, only 23 km from downtown Timmins, will be lost forever as the river flow is forced into a large pipe to feed the turbine and generator. The falls, as we now know it, will cease to exist. The preliminary work has already started as an environmental screening process is now happening. Public input will be sought probably in early Spring 2008 or 2009 or 2010 or 2011 or 2012 - Who knows ?

Pics of the Day brought to you by WildExodus.com
Hello,
High falls is the key attraction of the 'Grassy River Canoe
Expedition' one of the most popular offerings to our international
eco-tourists. We are opposed to any proposal that results in the
destruction of this geological 'gem' within the city with a heart of
gold.
The attached photos were taken last July during a trip with guests from Chicago.
All the best with your efforts, J.C. Santos
