As Hydro-Québec continues to divert the Rupert River in northern Quebec, Fran Bristow’s campaign to protect the Romaine River is quite timely [“Buying and Saving,” Cano- eroots V7, I1, read online at
canoerootsmag.com]. Quebec is destroying one pristine river after another.

Established by Bristow with the Sierra Club and Fondation Rivières, the Romaine River Alliance is trying to prevent the damming of the Romaine River and needs all the help it can get. Hopefully your editorial will get the word out to concerned paddlers across North America. We are losing our playgrounds and it is time for us to get active. Hydro-Québec’s hit list is not limited to the Romaine but
includes the Little Mecatina and the George. Canadians need to let corporations and our members of Parliament know that we value our wild places. To support the Romaine River Alliance, visit
quebec.sierraclub.ca/campagnes/romaine, or write to
franb@sierraclub.ca.

Congratulations to Brian Shields for his enjoyable article on the Prospector canoe [“Looking for Work,” Canoeroots V7, I1, read online at
canoerootsmag.com]. I especially appreciated the men- tion of my book about New Bruns- wick and the Chestnut Canoe Com- pany, though the full title is When the Chestnut was in Flower (Plum- sweep Press, 2000).
