Thanks to our first Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald, Canadians have had the historic right to navigate the millions of lakes, rivers, and streams of Canada without being impeded by pipelines, bridges, power lines, dams, mining and forestry equipment, and more for 130 years.
Thanks to current Prime Minister Stephen Harper, that will no longer be the job of the Government of Canada.
If your favorite lake or river is not mentioned in Bill C-45, you’re out of luck. Chances are, it’s not; only 62 rivers and 93 lakes are on the list.
Look for your lake or river on the list below. (It won’t take you long!)
If it’s not there, tell us!
