Dear Premier Darrell Pasloski, Arthur Mitchell, MLA, and Elizabeth Hanson, MLA

We, the undersigned, express our support for the First Nations of the Peel Watershed as they work to protect their cultural homeland from industrial development. We recognize the Peel Watershed as a culturally irreplaceable and ecologically priceless wilderness that is important for the people of the Yukon and North America as a whole. The Peel represents the northern anchor of the Yellowstone to Yukon region, one of the great mountain ecosystems on earth.

We share the First Nations' vision of keeping the Peel Watershed wild and pristine. Although affected First Nations believe the entire watershed should be protected, in the spirit of compromise, they are supporting the Final Recommended Peel Watershed Plan which calls for permanent protection for 55% and interim protection for 25% of the watershed. We envision the designation of legally binding protected areas for at least 80% of the Peel River watershed.

Protection will allow traditional and subsistence uses, wilderness tourism, hunting and fishing, but no industrial development or industrial surface access.

The Peel watershed is important to all Canadians.

Thank you for allowing me to voice my support on behalf of Canada's Peel watershed.

Yours Truly,

A supporter of The Big Wild and CPAWS
