Preserving Ontario’s freshwater: Symposium

A symposium and networking café to tap the wellspring of community knowledge

8:00 am – 4:30 pm Friday, March 27, 2009, in Toronto, Ontario

Much has been accomplished in the few years since the Walkerton tragedy, with more initiatives underway, yet Ontario’s ground  and surface water resources remain finite as:

• our population increases;
• demand for water expands;
• the climate changes; and
• we contemplate greater designs on the boreal and the taiga.

Please join us for:

• An address by Gord Miller, the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario;
• Discussions featuring 15 leaders working on freshwater issues and,
• A networking café to strengthen bonds and capture the expertise in the room.

Share your observations and recommendations as we discuss:

• What is the health of Ontario’s freshwater?
• What are we doing right to preserve our freshwater ecosystems? and,
• What more needs to be done by individuals, organizations, industry, and government?

More details about the Symposium, including registration information, are available at www.ohwi.ca. E-mail inquiries are welcome via Andrew@ohwi.ca.
