Parry Sound Town Council takes action against Asian carp migration into the Great Lakes

An open letter in the Chicago Sun-Times is a call to action in Parry Sound.

The letter warns of the migration of Asian carp into the Great Lakes destroying native wildlife and fish populations as already seen in the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers

Written on behalf of the Great Lakes mayors, it urges immediate federal funding for a barrier designed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that will prevent the fish from entering Lake Michigan.

Parry Sound Town Council Tuesday night approved a resolution in support of Mayor Jamie McGarvey adding his name to the letter which includes Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Toronto Mayor John Tory.

A copy of the resolution is being sent to the federal Minister of the Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna and Parry Sound-Muskoka MP Tony Clement among others.

I was born and raised in the former Borough of East York (now part of Toronto), a friendly community with small-town roots. After attending Ryerson’s Electrical Technology program in Toronto, I became involved in the family’s retail electronics business, eventually taking it over. During that time, I became involved in a number of community groups including the East York Community Centre Liaison Committee, and sitting on the board of the Toronto Police 54 Division liaison committee, as well as chairing the Pape Village Business Improvement Area. In 2007, I decided to pursue a career in radio broadcasting, enrolling in Humber College’s radio broadcasting program. It was a wonderful opportunity and something I’ve wanted to do since high school. After working at a number of stations in both Ontario and Alberta, I am excited to work alongside with the great team at 103.3 Moose FM in beautiful Parry Sound.
