View topic - Proposed Dam - Timmins Area - Grassy River

Hi Kam!
This has some info, but nothing on your river.
http://scitech.pyr.ec.gc.ca/waterweb/selectProvince.asp
If you have a friendly MPP maybe they can get the info,
or contact one of the other local eco groups or big ones and see if they can pull some strings for you.
or maybe someone here can help you.

Thanks Jeff - great site

Government sites are an amazing resource - the hard part is finding the information

Hi All,

The Friends of High Falls went out on a paddle of the Grassy River from below High Falls to the Dalton road about 12km on Saturday afternoon - did a little cleanup on the way

What's left of a Mad River Explorer found up river was brought back to the road area for disposal - looks like it's been there a while - If you think the top looks bad you should see the bottom - River Karma

Markus

Any recent developments on this one?
Yours in paddling, Allan

Hi Allan, havn't heard too much since the passing of the organizer earlier in the year.
I have emailed the contact on the web page but have not heard back.
All I can say is moral has been low in many groups since the Prov. gov't has ended nearly all ways to fight these things.
I do have some calls out to the big groups to try and raise the spirits, If anything happens will keep everyone informed.
Jeff

I visited the site originally cited on this thread. Talk about pulling the wool over our eyes!

And I thought I was a "canoeist". . . now, I'm a "canoer" to boot!!!
