Why do I participate? I am opposed to the TC Energy pumped storage hydro-electric facility.

Why do I participate? Ode to Georgian BayIn the embrace of Georgian Bay\’s tranquil, azure waters,Or amidst the rhythmic crescendo of its waves,One may find solace or trepidation,In the tempestuous storms of autumn\’s fury. Yet amid these tumults, many still cherish.Georgian Bay\’s allure, whether casting lines,Sailing its expanse, or simply baskingUpon its shores, with a drink in hand. Awake, Mishipeshu, guardian of waters,Let your powers reshape our hardened hearts,And guide us towards a future where balanceAnd reverence for all beings reign supreme. Let us abandon the allure of easy gains,And embrace a future where ingenuityNurtures harmony between humanityAnd the delicate dance of nature\’s grace. Date and Time:February 24, 2024 *Check-in […]

Why do I participate? Georgian Bay is pristine, tranquil and my love. In this era of insecurity, I want to preserve it as is. I love winter and its dynamic ice formations when it freezes over entirely; I love spring, and exposure of sand when water levels are low . I love swimming June to September on my inner tube from Kubota on 7th Line. I want the 150 year celebration of the town of Meaford to honour its constituents and honour its treasure and Save the Bay,. All of the gaggles of Canadian geese in flight, and all the small and big fish: salmon, rainbow trout! Meaford is the […]

Why do I participate? When I moved to Meaford I felt in love with the Georgian Bay immediately. I love it so much that every time I submerged my body in the Bay I literally feel purified. I mean it. I go for a dip in the Bay every month of the year regardless of its temperature.I truly care about our environment and fresh water as I know that it is a limited resource.

Why do I participate? If this thing had a human face, we would see beyond their candy giving gestures. We would see this thing lacks the ability to experience emotions like contentment, remorse, and love, or appreciate nature\’s beauty. We would see an outcast with no roots nor friends nor interest in fitting in locally anywhere they went. We would find their insatiable appetite disgusting whenever we tried to help. We would see that it is walking a dog, who itself is leashed by a larger chain of owners. And after imagining its possible human form, we would lament that this transhuman/Canada thing is so mentally ill and its existence […]

Why do I participate? I don\’t want to do this. But I am, because raising money to stop TCE Energy (Ontario Pumped Storage) is more important than staying comfortable. This proposed project does not make economic sense (read SGB website).You all ought to know, that Meaford is NOT a willing host this project. But TCE is bribing people and business with sponsorship (money).I fear for the raping of the escarpment, and the pollution to Georgian Bay. All destruction irrevocable forever.It\’s time to save and protect our fresh water lakes, like groups are doing now for the oceans.And when will we understand, one pathway to energy sustainability is just turn off […]

Why do I participate? This will be my 3rd year participating in the Save Georgian Bay Polar Dip. I moved to the Meaford area in 2017 because of my love for Georgian Bay and the Grey Highlands.
