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 ?

Grant Tunnicliffe

It is with much sadness that i report the passing of Grant Tunnicliffe
on Feb 20-2010. He was a very good friend and a great leader for the
group.
He will be truly missed, by myself and everyone else that has ever had contact with him.
My deepest sympathies go out to Grant's friends and family

Regards
Markus
