Watch the documentary Damnation, it clarifies why we should be removing dams and allow the rivers to run naturally.

A naturally flowing river in my opinion is a much healthier river. I would expect the oxygen level to be much higher in a flowing river, and with the amount of geese in the city of London parks I think with a dam holding back the water it will become a rancid cesspool in the summer months ( ps look no further than Stratford's park in the latter summer! Then again once it is drained as last summer). Then the Mayor of London would open the dam in fall for everyone down stream to First Nations included to have to deal with.

This river runs through my backyard. I mean literally it is right there. There is a sewage treatment plant right across the river. Greenway park. Beautiful area. The dam is two km downstream from the sewage pipe. This Greenway water treatment plant gets flooded every time there is heavy rain and raw sewage gets dumped into the Thames. Why on earth would I want to create a pond with a sewage pump at the head water? Most London building prior to 1986 was on weeping tile systems that overflow to storm sewers during heavy rains. Raw sewage entering the river in London is the norm. The river could use a major clean up. The water has a strange smell. I don't go in the river without waders because contact with the water irritates my skin. The dam is only going to make the water quality worse. Do we want a river that is dirty, stagnant and contaminated? My idea would be to clean up and manage the whole watershed with the idea of returning it to its natural state.
The river will be more valuable for recreation, tourism, drinking water, fish, wildlife and our children if we make a commitment to restore it. Closing Springbank dam is a bad move. Done.

I moved to London over 25+ years ago from Sault Ste Marie, partly due to its "natural" surroundings and "untouched Northern feel" due to all the trees and animal life. I feel that more effort needs to be put into the life the Thames river. Looking into fish populations animal life surrounding the river(s) etc.

The river is healthier now, since the dam was working. The only person who benefit from a working dam are paddlers who don't want to any long trips. I'm a canoeist and I can tell you this you will see more with the dam not working then with it, if you want a day paddle go to fanshaw and I hear it's getting the silt is getting back up at that dam. So would this to the spring bank dam if was working.?

A dam is NOT required here. Let a few people go boat somewhere else in the summer. The fish and wildlife were here before them.

The health of the ecosystem of the Thames River outweighs any recreational usage! I live by the river and have noticed amazing positive changes since the dam has been out! Cleaner water, more wildlife and a healthier river. It smells good now! When one tampers with nature there is always a price to pay and no water sports activities is more important than that! I want to see a healthy ecosystem built for future generations to enjoy. The dam in a hindrance to the health and well being of the Thames. I did not like the state of the river when the dam was in place. I believe it deteriorated for a reason. Mother Nature had a point to make and we should heed this point and let the river mend itself. Please do not allow water sports to take precedence. In my opinion this would be highly irresponsible. Thank you.

This high cost pollution maintenance device has been destroying the Thames River for years all for the convenience of a select few user groups. Now that the dam has been out for 8 years we have all seen what a remarkable recovery our heritage river has made. Furthermore, any change in design immediately voids the DFO permit. The COL is going to have to modify the structure to make the necessary repairs. This is in writing from DFO. The Species at Risk Legislation is going to play a very important role now that they have been identified above and below the dam. The one time estimated cost to decommission in the original environmental assessment of 1 million dollars is looking pretty good now eh Mr. Mayor Brown??? You and your side kick Hubert need to pull your heads out of your behinds and wake up.

By not fixing the dam you will help to protect the water quality, the varied aquatic life and it's natural beauty/flow. As a recreational paddler, yes I miss the London Canoe Club, yet still have opportunities to paddle during high water times and other sections of the river. Please direct tax payers monies elsewhere. Thanks.

If the fish can pass the dam in its existing state - do nothing and leave it as it is (broken). If the fish can not move past the dam in its existing state - remove it. DO NO FIX THE DAM and DEMAND THAT YOUR $ IS RETURNED FROM THE ORGANIZATION THAT FAILED IN THE ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT.
