I hope that the planning committee of Southwest Middlesex will listen and hear what Wardsville has to say. I think if the river could be incorporated with trails and benches Wardsville could be a wonderful tourist destination. A cafe on the river for canoeist to be able to stop at would be ideal. It takes someone with money and know how to make that a profitable venture. I am reminided of Scarborough Bluffs on Lake Ontario. It started off as a small venture and now is a huge Marina. If we could use the Thames River as a viable river for canoe enthusiasts or kayakers that might be a way to go. When I visit my sister in southern NY State, the Delaware River is a hot spot for tourists and it is well used by rafters,canoists and kayakers. These are just thoughts that are coming up as I am reading your draft. Regina
