The Bow River

[sirocco]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm putting together a "newspaper article" on the Bow River for my french class. Since it's a "news-report", I would like to include some insight from some of the people that are closest to the river -- fly fisherman. If you feel so inclined, please take a moment to answer one or more of these questions:

 

- What is the Bow's cultural significance and its importance to us as residents living next to (or near) it?

 

- How do you see the current health of the river (i.e. nutrient content, bacteria content, toxic substance content, garbage quantities etc.)?

 

- How do you feel about the current and future threats to the Bow (global warming, urbanisation etc)?

 

- How do you see the river in 10 years?

 

Please feel free to e-mail me at erik@ehphoto.ca with a reply or simply reply to this topic. However, I do not want this to turn into a debate so please do not comment on the opinions of others, or if you must, please do so in a separate topic.

 

Thanks a lot for your help!

 

Erik
