What is Xeneca? Where is the Petawawa? How does this effect me?
  

Xeneca Power Development Inc. is a for-profit enterprise primarily engaged in the identification, development, permitting and construction of waterpower electricity generating facilities in the Province of Ontario while ensuring a fair return to its investors.

Action towards these rivers should be of interest to anyone who paddles, not just to whitewater paddlers. More information regarding the PICs (Public Information Centres) is available at www.whitewaterontario.com. While you're there check out a recent letter Xeneca sent to Whitewater Ontario regarding the dates and locations of the PICs. 

Paddlers must make an effort to represent their interests at these meetings otherwise their interests will not be considered in the assessment/planning process for these rivers.
