Working to Protect Ontario’s Watersheds, their Natural Heritage, and our Receiving Waters
The Ontario Headwaters Institute works to protect Ontario’s watersheds, their natural heritage, and receiving waters such as the Great Lakes, through on-going efforts in our three portfolios on Research, Education, and Civic Engagement.
In February, the latter portfolio launched the Coalition of Ontario Water Guardians, with numerous partners, as can be seen at www.cowg.ca. In March, the Coalition launched its first collaborative effort: a petition asking the province to better protect water security. See our blog for more.
