Fish Ladder

Gay and I had an amazing week at the Royal Habour Resort in Thornbury.

Here is a short video of the Dam at Thornbury and the fish ladder.  The Beaver River empties into the Nottawasaga Bay (part of Georgian Bay).

Thornbury Fish Ladder - Located on Hwy 26 just east of the lights in Thornbury.  
The fish ladder runs under the bridge over the Beaver River.  It was designed to provide fish passage from Georgian Bay to spawning beds on the Beaver River, south of the Thornbury dam.
It can best be seen from an attractive stairway and platforms which are accessible from the public parking lot next to Town Hall.  There are interpretive story boards sponsored by the Thornbury Clarksburg Rotary Club along the walk known as Riverwalk which follows the shore of the Beaver River.  The best times to visit the fishway are spring and fall.  Rainbow Trout swim up the river in spring and salmon in fall.

History

History - of course, sometimes needs a rewrite!

It should be altered to reflect new facts or facts that were deliberately ignored (or covered up) in earlier versions.
Alternate voices are important to give history its depth.  True, this creates a bit more mess.  It isn't quite as simple as good guys/girls versus bad guys/girls, but the 'truth' generally isn't so clear-cut anyway.

Have a look at some of the various discussions around Louis Riel.
(Canadian History: Red River Rebellion and North-West Rebellion)

A good starting place is Canada's History magazine (Feb-March 2013): Thunder on the Prairie and
Shifting Riel - ity.

Was he a rebel, a defender of human rights, a hero, a crazy man ?  Perhaps he was all of this and more.  
For sure, he wasn't just a hero.  He wasn't just a rebel.
