<p> <a target=3D"_blank" href=3D"http://vimeo.com/89952653">Lost Riv=
ers</a> is a documentary film that takes us on an adventure down below and =
across the globe, retracing the history of lost urban rivers.  Intrepi=
d groups of subterranean explorers guide us through the hidden river networ=
ks of London, Brescia (Italy), Montreal and Toronto, to reveal the buried w=
aterways that house the secrets of each city=E2=80=99s past. Exploring rece=
nt initiatives to resurface and revitalize these forgotten waterways in Yon=
kers and Seoul, the fascinating Lost Rivers brings to life an aspect of urb=
an ecology that has long been kept secret.</p>=20
<p>The film screening will be followed by a public discussion about Saw M=
ill River in Dartmouth and the unique opportunity that we have to revitaliz=
e this lost waterway. </p>=20

<p align=3D"center">Why Saw Mill River and Why Now?</p>=20
<p> </p>=20
<p>In the coming months Halifax Water will be replacing the ageing culver=
t in which Saw Mill River now flows from Sullivan=E2=80=99s Pond to the Hal=
ifax Harbour.  The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has required fis=
h passage to be included in the new design.  The Sackville Rivers Asso=
ciation and the Ecology Action Centre want to know: while we=E2=80=99re dig=
ging it up =E2=80=93 why not daylight it?</p>=20
<p> </p>=20
<p>Please join us for an inspiring look at the movement to daylight river=
s in other cities around the world and right here in our own backyards.</p>=
