PEGGY

Bala Falls is a sensitive subject for the folks of Muskoka in 

Ontario. A hydro plant is proposed for the falls and is 

causing tension in the area and with the provincial 

government. Organized committees and protests are 

ongoing to lobby against the project.

Enter 56 year old Peggy Peterson. She is passionate 

about the area, the heritage and the water. Peggy 

lives north of the falls but for the last 8 months has 

been spending most of her time camping out across 

the street in a tent and a van as her way of protesting. 

Peggy goes it alone, watching over the area while 

keeping tabs on the comings and goings at the 

proposed site.
