This page will provide a link to an ecclectic mix of information about the watershed. New items will be added here from time to time.
- Geology and Mining Report
The report entitled "Geology, Mineral Deposits and History of Mining in the Tay River Watershed" is now available on-line. This report, written by geologist Donald Sherwin, for the Friends of the Tay Watershed Association contains a wealth of geological and mining information for our watershed. It includes references to the occurrence of uranium in our watershed, as well as a detailed mineral occurrences map. The Print version is also available from the Friends of the Tay Watershed.
Click here for the report.
- Check out your mineral rights
Because there is considerable confusion about which properties have retained the mineral rights with surface rights, in Ontario, we have posted an explanation of how to determine this on the Internet ~ click here for further information.
- Geological Map of Perth Area

- Paddling the Tay
The Tay River is a hidden jewel. It gives one the impression that it is miles from civilization and yet it is literally at our back door. It is a marvelous river to paddle.
Printed copies of this brochure are available through the Friend of the Tay Watershed. Many thanks to the team that put this one together.
For a virtual copy of the new and improved "Paddling the Tay" brochure, please click here.
- Tay River indicators
The Tay River is in reasonably good health overall. There are, however, some "hot spots" in several areas that are monitored for change and efforts are underway to improve the health in the problematic areas. Some of the indicators are shown below:
- Bird Sightings Along the Tay Canal
- Mills of the Tay
The interesting and informative book on the Mills of the Tay written by David Taylor has been updated and is now available for viewing.
