IF GREN WANTS TO ENDORSE THEIR EFFORTS CONTACT:
6nsolidarity.wordpress.com 
We should ask GREN members at our next meeting if we want to officially endorse their efforts. This should go to a vote. Personally I believe they should have their support. They did an excellent job in Site 41 and are working hard to help efforts in Guelph with the Hanlon Business Park area. They can help us protect the Grand and the moraine.
 
Tues. Nov. 10 BridgeKeepers need Bums in Seats at Woolwich Council
Topics: Capital Paving's submission of a Scoped Subwatershed Study (based on shallow bore hole tests, lack of spring thaw, no regard for Climate Change or endangered Wavy Rayed Mussels etc.).
