Today is an official Pelican Watch Day of Inaction

Dear fellow pelicanistas, today is Sunday, an ideal day to spend strolling or biking through our beautiful river valley.

When you go down to the river today to walk the dog, have a long run, or sit on a bench by the weir and anticipate the return of the pelicans, you will be participating in our first official "Day of Inaction."

We at Pelican Watch have vowed to "take care of the river that cares for us." What do we love about the river? So many things--too numerous to mention--but underlying them all is the fact that the river as it courses through our city is essentially itself, a living entity, the centre of a sensitive riparian ecosystem which we are fortunate enough to be able to observe and be part of.

We can live with our river, and not against it. We can go with the flow, and that's what we suggest you do today.

Enjoy!
