On my morning walk yesterday I saw such an unusual sight, I had to stop for a picture! On a field trip later the same day, I heard the full story – this is the culmination of a 20 year collaborarive philanthropic effort to remove the old industrial dams and restore the rapids to the Grand River 👏👏👏

@darwinwoodka For the record, I think it’s disrespectful to refer to Donald Trump as “Putin’s puppet,” or the more common “Putin’s bitch.” It dishonors puppets and bitches everywhere.
