In the formation of the Ontario Steelheaders (OSH) organization some 35 years ago, chapters were created in the form of sub groups within the province basically to focus on their local watersheds. Approximately 5 regional chapters were born. Unfortunately due to the provincial graphics, some chapters started to break away from main OSH but still committed to work on their own.
The last remaining chapter was the Brantford Steelheaders that worked to improve the Grand River watershed and its tributaries. To date, many have benefitted from the long hours, hard work and the dedication from this chapter and deserve a BIG round of applause.
Recently, our president Karl Redin was informed by the executive of the Brantford Steelheaders that it was time to close the doors and end its role as a chapter of the OSH organization. But with this came an unexpected gift from Brantford chapter to the OSH, the transfer of their cash balance in the amount of $3441.00 to help us continue our work – well done to the executive and members of the former “Brantford Steelheaders”.
This donation will assist the OSH to carry on its work on the Saugeen watershed such as fish transfers, hatchery costs, etc.
On behalf of the OSH executive and all our members, our hats are off to you and again a BIG THANK YOU to the Brantford Steelheaders organization.
