Dear Ms. Atwood and Mr. Gibson:

Thank you for your letter of concern regarding the Grenada Dove sanctuary.We are involved in a project at Mount Hartman Estate in Grenada, however we are neither the owner or the developer of the project. Hence, when we received the letter from Dr. Michael Rands expressing his concern about the doves, we forwarded it to the group who are developing the project.

It is our understanding that the developer is working on a plan with the Government of Grenada to protect the Grenada Dove.We are not involved in this process and therefore, do not have any details about it.We will request the Government of Grenada and/or the developer to contact you with further information.

Thank you again for bringing your concerns about the Grenada Dove to our attention.

Regards,

Peter Hodgson
Vice President Corporate Planning
