Well, it’s getting to be that time of year when seasons swing us to cooler temperatures. I trust, we all for some time at least, got to enjoy the warmer, sunny days of summer. For those of you whose acquaintance I have not made, my name is Harold Curtis. I am Secretary/Treasurer for the Ontario Steelheaders.   We would like to take this opportunity to let our membership know how our collective funds are being used.
  • Dec. 12, 2010 – $ 2000 for work on the Traux Dam Fishway in Walkerton
  • April 24, 2011 – $ 2000 for L.H.F.C. to help with the cost of rearing 2011-12 yearlings.
  • July 4, 2011 – $3000 to L.H.F.C. to help with the cost of rearing enhanced fall-release smolt.
  • Sept. 6, 2011 – $5000 towards new Maple Hill Dam Fishway.
  In less than one year, we‟ve injected $12,000 into fisheries enhancement projects. We also have had numerous smaller expenses we have incurred in the day to day operations of the Ontario Steelheaders.   I would also like to share with all of you folks a list of friends of the Ontario Steelheaders who have made donations to assist in our efforts:
  • Canadian National Sportsmen’s Shows Ltd.
  • Sauble Men’s Club
  • United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. Local Union 785
  • John Topp
  • Strutin’ Tom’s Turkey Club of Walkerton
  • John Campbell
  • Hammond Power Solutions Inc.
  • Sobey’s Milton
  I personally, as well as the rest of our members would like to express our gratitude for the generosity shown to us by these groups and individuals. A special note of thanks, to the families and friends of Dave Bartholomew and Bertha Mills for the donations made to us in their memory.   I will continue to visit the post office and bank, and keep our books up to date. See you all out there sometime!   Regards,   Harold Curtis Secretary/Treasurer Ontario Steelheaders
