	Peel Regional Municipality, Ontario - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Region of Peel is the second-largest municipality in Ontario after Toronto, to whom it owed its existence.
		Owing to immigration and its transportation infrastructure (seven highways serve Peel and Toronto Pearson International Airport is mostly within its boundaries), the Region of Peel is a rapidly-growing area with a young population and an increasing profile.
		The County of Peel (and indirectly, the Region of Peel) was named after Sir Robert Peel, the nineteenth-century Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

	Top Ten Endangered Canadian Rivers Named (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		By their very nature, rivers that cross borders are subject to multiple demands and multiple abuses, creating potential tension between those people living upstream and those living downstream.
		Rivers in or near cities often face a wide range of threats including industrial and agricultural pollution, sewage effluent, dams, and habitat destruction (from logging, mining, and urban sprawl).
		Wilderness rivers appear on the list when there is an ill-advised proposal to build a dam, open a mine, or rip a road into one of these dwindling reservoirs of beauty and biodiversity.

		The Peel watershed is also home to healthy populations of moose and thousands of mountain caribou, and is the wintering ground for some members of the Porcupine Caribou Herd, that massive group of migratory animals that existed when woolly mammoths and giant beavers lived in the northern Yukon.

	7/7/2003 -- Top Ten Endangered Canadian Rivers Named
		Compared to the U.S., Canada is fortunate to have a far greater number of wild rivers that are in relatively good shape—free from dams, largely free from pollution, and undisturbed by the intrusion of roads for resource extraction.
		The threats facing rivers in more industrialized and urbanized parts of Canada are very similar to the problems endured by rivers in the U.S., as a glance at the most endangered American rivers will confirm.
		The objectives of publicizing the plight of Canada's most endangered rivers are to assist local communities and organizations in protecting or restoring rivers, to educate the public about the problems facing these rivers, and to challenge leaders in business and government to become better stewards of the ecological arteries of our nation.
