[All] Grand River Watershed Water Forum - program update

[Robert Milligan]

Sonia,

Good program, but! Why is there no opportunity to ask questions this  
year??  At least last year there was a period at the end for questions  
but surprise, surprise -- there was no time. What happened to  
democracy? If only the GRCA was paid for with my tax dollars!
