The first guy(Andrew) rode the rapids all the way to the bottom sucessfuly while the second guy(Dan) busted his paddle in half and swam the rest of the rapids to the bottom and was quite battered from the ordeal - this was their first and last attempt at the falls. Flows as you can see were quite high<br />
<br />
<b>Please do not attempt this at home boys and girls - these guys are highly trained professionals :-)</b><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>"International Day of Action for Rivers – 14 March 2011</b></div><b><br />
</b><br />
The <a href="http://ontarioriversalliance.ca/"><b>Ontario Rivers Alliance</b></a> would like to recognize the <b>International Day of Action for Rivers</b> around the World. The development of so called "<b>Green Energy</b>" waterpower projects are having numerous negative impacts on Communities and River Ecosystems around the globe!<br />
<br />
To most, <b>Green Energy</b> means "<b>environmentally friendly</b>", but <b>Environment Canada</b> and <b>MNR </b>studies indicate that dams which hold water flow back to generate power for peak demand results in decreased water quantity and flow, and impacts on water quality both upstream and downstream of the dams. This results in a rise in water temperature, sediment retention and turbidity, higher nitrogen and phosphorus levels from nutrient loading, increase in methyl mercury, low dissolved oxygen levels, which results in harm to aquatic life, and degradation of habitat. These dams also impede fish passage, and further endanger species at risk, and the entire biota of the river system.<br />
<br />
Waterpower projects are only one in a long list of challenges facing our River Systems today. Whether it be waste water treatment facilities spilling effluent into our watersheds, over-development of shorelines, invasive species, algae, cyanobacteria or climate change, these River systems are facing increased pressure from development. It is important for each of us to have an awareness, and to make a contribution towards protecting and preserving Rivers around the world. We have a responsibility to our Children to leave a legacy of clean and healthy rivers and ecosystems!<br />
<br />
Take action today – write a letter of concern to the editor of your local newspaper, or to your Member of Parliament. <br />

on Feb 20-2010. He was a very good friend and a great leader for the<br />
group.<br />
He will be truly missed, by myself and everyone else that has ever had contact with him.<br />
My deepest sympathies go out to Grant's friends and family<br />
<br />
