I was there as a trustee for Waterkeeper Alliance and I was thrilled at all of the different kinds of celebrities - movie, tv, sports and even a man who walked on the moon (Thanks Buzz!) who brought attention to our organization and it's mission to protect, preserve, defend and restore the waterways around the world. I should mention that we have received real help from the younger Hollywood throughout the year as they have committed their time and talents to raising money and awareness for us and our, to date, 157 Waterkeeper programs. Katee Sackhoff and the cast of Battlestar Galactica, Nathan Fillion and the cast of Firefly have been particularly helpful. I also want to give a special thanks to Ben Browder who came to Banff to show his support and the rest of the Stargate: Sg-1 and Stargate: Atlantis casts including Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping and Joe Flanigan. All have made special efforts to promote our cause to their fans. Thanks again!! Nice to see the report on Banff.

This year was the most successful fundraiser in the organization's history, with much-needed money raised for grassroots water quality activism. I just wanted to clarify that many of the people labelled "celebrities" by the media are, in fact, also incredibly committed and very well-versed environmental activists who just happen to better-known for their success in other areas. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Alec Baldwin and Gord Downie in particular have shown incredible leadership in the Waterkeeper movement and I have a hunch they would cringe at the wording of the final paragraph of your article. These individuals are at the forefront of the environmental movement in Canada - not because of their famous names but because of their hard work and their eloquence. Thanks again!
