Grand River Fisheries Management Plan – Open House

Some readers may be interested in attending this event, about which I just received the following email:

” Hi folks:
This message is being sent to all Friends of the Grand members and old members, whom I am sure support us in spirit.

An public open house will be held next week to review 10 years of operation under the Grand River Fisheries Management Plan. Friends of the Grand River is sponsoring this open house.

The Fergus-Elora open house will be held on Wednesday, January 7, at 7 p.m. in the Wellington County Museum on County Road 18 between Fergus and Elora, just west of the Trestle access point. It’s the big majestic old building up on the hill. Short presentations will be followed by an opportunity to ask questions and offer feedback on your views about management of the Grand River.

This is the first of a series of open houses; others will be held in Cambridge (January 21), Brantford, Dunnville and Six Nations. Full details of the other venues are available on the GRCA web site (www.grandriver.ca).

If you received this message in error, I apologize. If I’ve reminded you that you forgot to send us your membership cheque, feel free to send one in. Membership info is on our web site (www.friendsofthegrandriver.com). I hope you will consider coming out to one of the open houses. This is how we get to understand what people want from the Grand River — anglers and others.

Thanks for your attention. Have a Happy New Year!
