The Great Lakes holds 20 percent of the world’s fresh surface water making its protection essential for both Canada, Ontario and the cities on its shores. In March of 2023 a $420 million dollar investment was announced into the protection and restoration of the Great Lakes. The goal of the Great Lakes Protection Initiative (GLPI) is to target the most significant environmental challenges affecting Great Lakes water quality and ecosystem health by delivering on Canada’s commitments under the Canada-United States Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA).
In this webinar, experts will discuss not only the recent funding announcement but other research and areas of concern for these precious waters. Speakers include:
• R. Michael McKay, University of Windsor – Current ongoing research on the Great Lakes (Wither winter: Unraveling the mysteries of a forgotten season in the face of a changing climate)
• Mark Fisher, Council on Great Lakes Region – Recent funding from Ottawa and opportunities for Ontario Companies
