"Damn it, this is a campaign that concerns every man, woman and child (and animal) living in our community. For the Public good, I hereby invite every newspaper and every radio and TV station to lend their support to get the S.O.S. (Save Our Seine) campaign stamped down as an annual event." - Peter Warren. Winnipeg Sun, October 1990
