Canoe Draw to be Held in Espanola The Friends of
the Spanish River will be giving away two new canoes at the Espanola Recreation
Centre at 5:00pm on July 1, 2003. They are holding this canoe draw to raise
funds to help with their continuous environmental work on the Spanish River. For
example, on May 14, 2003 the ‘Friends’ and the Espanola Branch of the
Ministry of Natural Resources seeded the lower Spanish River with 550
Muskellunge yearlings at a cost of about $30.00 a piece. Over the last seven
years, the ‘Friends and the M.N.R. have placed over 7,500 Muskies in the Lower
Spanish River at a cost of over $250,000.00! Friends
