Subject: Burns Bog in Delta British Columbia, Canada

Dear Ramsar Secretariat,


My name is Eric Velestuk, I am only 11years old and I live in Delta British-Columbia Canada.

Thank you for offering us the Ramsar International Designation for Burns Bog.

I think it’s sad that you were turned down.

The Mayor of Delta, Lois Jackson, said that she will include another parcel of land to

the Burns Bog before she accepts the Ramsar Designation.

She’s been saying that for SIX YEARS!

I believe that she WILL NOT add this land to the Burns Bog, that SHE WILL NOT take

the steps necessary to protect Burns Bog from development, and the Ramsar

International Designation will never be accepted UNLESS SHE IS FORCED TO DO SO.

SHE WILL DEVELOP IT INSTEAD.

PLEASE DO SOME THING BECAUSE IT IS NOT HER FUTURE IT IS MINE AND MY GENERATION`S FUTURE.

Here is the email address for a lady that runs the Burns Bog Society: eliza@burnsbog.org
and I am sure she can answer any questions you have about this.

Sincerely,
Eric Velestuk
