If this place looks familiar … Read on
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 ?

Every River in Canada is Now Threatened

As if we didn't have enough to fight to protect rivers. Now the
federal government seems to be against us.

Incredible as it may seem, the Harper government is considering the
elimination of the historic right of public navigation in Canada.

A good website to see what is happening is
