FRESH WATER—CLEAN FUTURE The cold, clean trout streams we have today are all we are ever going to have. The planet’s rivers represent about 1/1000th of a tablespoon out of a five gallon pail of water.

Our responsibility today is to ensure these streams will be healthy and vital so future generations will enjoy the benefits we enjoy today. Your participation at tonight’s event plays a vital role in helping Trout Unlimited Canada carry out its mission towards this goal. Thank you for being part of the solution!

TAX INFORMATION The Canada Revenue Agency has ruled that the price paid for an item at a charity auction is the fair market value of the item. The price paid will therefore not be allowed as a charitable donation for tax purposes. Purchasers of art or other items for business purposes are subject to the provisions of the Income Tax Act in respect to capital gains, capital cost allowances and expense deductibility. Generally, works of art by Canadian Artists which are used to enhance business premises are eligible for capital cost allowance. Revenue Canada has ruled that: 1. A charitable receipt may be issued for the “fair market value of a property donated for an auction.” 2. A charitable receipt may be issued for property bid on during an auction where: a) Fair market value can be established b) The intent to give threshold is met (fair market value + 25%) Fresh Water—Clean Future 2 Lagavulin Islay 16-yr Single Malt; Bruichladdich "The Laddie Sixteen" Single Malt and Ralph Lauren Scotch Glasses Donor: Eric Olson, Calgary If you like scotch, here is a pair of single malts for you!

It was aged for 15 months in new French and American oak. Opaque purple, it offers a sensational bouquet of pain grille, scorched earth, meat, game, blueberry, and black currants. This is followed by a surprisingly elegant yet powerful, structured wine with gobs of spicy fruit, ripe tannins, and a plush texture. The long, 60-second finish is succulent and sweet. Give this classy wine 4-6 years in the cellar and enjoy it through 2030. Hats off to Ben Glaetzer for producing an extraordinary portfolio!” Robert Parker: 94-97/100 2010 SMIDGE HOUDINI PRICE: $30 “Deep garnet purple in color, the 2010 Houdini Cabernet Sauvignon gives notes of menthol, chocolate, black currant cordial and cloves with a whiff of cedar.
