Old Stope hill clean up
Paddlers we need to select a date to clean the Old Stope hill (pilots monumemt) . We should
do this fairly quickly and the one again before snow flies. Hard to believe with the lousy summer so far that we should be
thinking of winter all ready but it is coming.
I will taken care of the Trans-Canada trail pavilon today some time and it is only an hour or so , I pull
a few weeds eveery time I go by by they "grow like weeds" as the say.
August2009
I have nothing really set up for August and it might be a good idea to take our petetion around.
We have a petetion going to try and establish a donor regisrty in the NWT and we could then blend it very easliy into the
National strategy. Just a thought.

September 2009
The last week of Septemer the 28th, to be exact is once again world rivers day and we will
celebrate this at the YK river bridge again. we have a bit more time to pullit together this yerar and we will have a little
more going on. Last year the day was fun and the slack line a big hit. We hope to have more of such stuff this time and
a few more folks paddling than last year. Last year it was very cool and huddling around the fire was a very popular sport.

Organ and Tissue Donation
We are at present circulating a petetion around Yellowknife aiming to set up a Organ and Tissue
Donation Bank for the NWT. This system is in place across one third of Canada and we feel would greatly improve everyones
chances should they ever need an Organ/Tissue transplant.
Great news on this front Canadian Governmemt has annouced a 35 million dollar five year
plan to form a National Donor bank.
