Mike Holroyd has been nominated into the Chunky/TSN most valuable coach contest! This is a great opportunity to showcase our sport and our program. The top 20 coaches will have a profile done on TSN. Check out Mike's entry and show your support by adding a comment. It is recommended that the comment be about Mike's dedication to the sport, commitment to the team, influence on the lives of his team, impact on the team, etc.

If Mike wins there will be lots of chunky soup at future training camps!!!


Tuesday, January 20, 2009: This is a broadcast email from the Canadian Rivers Network:

The federal government has advanced plans in place to strip navigation rights from thousands of rivers across Canada, and they plan to do this quickly without public consultation under the pretext of saving the economy.

Please review the following: Background Information, Globe & Mail article, National Post Article, About Canadian Rivers Network.

Please help any way you can:

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

  • Speak the media about the NWPA issue at whatever level you can, local, regional, provincial or national.

Let us know if you require any additional information or assistance, contact: canrivers@sympatics.ca or visit: www.ispeakforcanadianrivers.ca.
