ABOUT THE PADDLE BRIGADE TO OTTAWA SEPT 27, 2007.

ADVENTURE AGENT PROVIDED LOGISTICAL SUPPORT, AS WELL AS PARTICIPATING AS A BRIGADE TEAM MEMBER, AND GUIDING IN PORTIONS OF THIS HISTORY-MAKING PADDLING TOUR
SEPTEMBER 28, 2007
WITH ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE AND OTTAWA POLICE MANAGING TRAFFIC, and SAFETY,

CAMERAS FLASHED AS ASTONISHED VISITORS TO THE CAPITAL, RESIDENTS, OFFICE WORKERS, POLITICIANS, AND ROAD TRAFFIC WITNESSED A RARE SIGHT.

THE CANOE BRIGADE MADE THE FINAL PORTAGE FROM VICTORIA ISLAND TO PARLIAMENT HILL. THIS HISTORICAL JOURNEY FOLLOWED THE TRADITIONAL CANOE ROUTE ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER ( Bon Echo Provincial Park to Ottawa = 200 KM ).

THERE, A CROWD OF 200 - 300 PEOPLE LISTENED TO VOICES THAT PETITIONED FOR A MORATORIUM OF URANIUM MINING HERE IN EASTERN ONTARIO. MINING COULD DO IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO TOURISM, WATER QUALITY, AIR QUALITY, AND DESTROY THE QUALITY OF THE VALLEY, WHICH, AS WELL AS HAVING THIS MAGNIFICENT WATERWAY, IS ALSO COMPRISED OF SOME 5000 LAKES, WITH POCKETS OF OLD GROWTH TIMBER AND A DIVERSE WILDLIFE POPULATION.

WATER WAS CARRIED BY MAIDENS OF THE ALGONQUIN ABORIGINALS, SYMBOLICALLY TRACING THE NATURAL ROUTE THAT THIS STILL-CLEAN WATER WOULD NATURALLY FOLLOW, TO BE PRESENTED TO PARLIAMENT, ALONG WITH THE REQUEST TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT, THE PEOPLE OF THE OTTAWA VALLEY, THE WILDLIFE, TO HONOUR TREATIES AND TO AT LEAST PUT IN PLACE A MORATORIUM.

THE REGION IS A VAST PARCEL OF CROWN LANDS, WHICH ALSO ARE PART OF THE FIRST NATIONS' LAND CLAIMS. THE LAND WAS NEVER SOLD, AND THE PEOPLES WERE NOT AND ARE NOT A CONQUERED PEOPLE. THEY HAVE A HUGE UNDERPINNING SUPPORT OF PEOPLE OF NON-ABORIGINAL DESCENT.

We had heavy wind and waves on Crotch Lake, very cold and very hot weather. No bugs.

The information provided above relates to the potential development of a Uranium mine at Robertsville Ontario. The Robertsville uranium mine would be developed at Robertsville, near Sharbot Lake, North Frontenac Township, Frontenac County, in Eastern Ontario. Robertsville was one of several small community stops on the Kingston & Pembroke Railway line. Now reliant on tourism and mineral and timber extraction, the Robertsville mine does not bode well for eco tourism, which the County and the Townships have been trying to promote.
