Canadian Rivers Network Wants your Help

This is a broadcast email from the Canadian Rivers Network.

We remain concerned about the Harper government's intentions to gut the Navigable Waters Protection Act and exempt thousands of waters from the provisions of the act by calling them "minor waters" and by exempting "minor works" from the provisions of the act.

Our position is:

- there is no such thing as a minor water in Canada
- there is no such thing as a minor work on a waterway in Canada
- you cannot save the economy by gutting Canada's environmental laws


1) Distribute this information through your networks.

2) Encourage your contacts to visit our website, sign the petition they have posted there, and review the information they have available on this issue.

3) Act and encourage others to act by initiating efforts to inform
politicians at every level that navigation rights and nvironmental laws in Canada should not be tinkered with under the guise of helping the economy.

4) If you are a member of an organization that wants to be publicly
listed as a supporter of the Canadian Rivers Network, let them know by sending them an email with the name of your organization, and contact information for a designated representative.

5) Speak the media about the NWPA issue at whatever level you can,
local, regional, proviincial or national.

6) Let them know if you have the name of anyone who is qualified and
willing to speak to the national media on behalf of the Canadian Rivers Network.

Please let them know if you require any additional information or
assistance.
