Riverwatchers should consider potential sources and causes of observed phenomena. In a river system, causes can come from activities on land (e.g. deforestation, development/construction), areas upstream, and be the result of events that have happened recently (e.g. water releases from dams, heavy rains and wind). 1.

Xeneca welcomes agency review comments and will incorporate them as best possible into the Final Environmental Report to be issued for the formal thirty day public and agency review as per the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for Waterpower Projects. Submission of this Draft report under the Waterpower Class EA represents a significant milestone in our obligations to the Province of Ontario under the Feed-In-Tariff (FIT) contract issued to Xeneca for this undertaking.

The Métis of the Ottawa River are a telling case, reflective of the disparities entrenched by the provincial border separating Ontario and Quebec. In chronicling the history of this particular Métis community, primarily through unpublished sources, we demonstrate that there is a shared Métis experience and identity in Canada, but that a contiguous community has been arbitrarily divided by a provincial boundary whereby the community is recognized on one side of the divide but not the other.
