We use Georgian Bay and the Great Lakes for our own pleasure. But we are having an impact on the health of these global treasures. Now is our time to learn about what is really happening beneath those beautiful crystal waves.
Come and hear US IJC Chair Lana Pollack and other Upper Great Lakes experts share the latest news on the health of Georgian Bay and the Upper Great Lakes.
The stories they tell are important for anyone who cares about our water to hear—90% collapse in the food web, the future potential impacts of climate change, recreational water quality and beaches, drastic water quality changes due to invasive species and much more. Do not miss attending this special collection of Great Lakes advocates.
