News Source Protection Committee Members Announced for the South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe Watershed Region
The South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe Source Protection Committee members have been selected. The Source Protection Committee, a group of local stakeholders, will be responsible for directing the program, which involves the safeguarding of municipal drinking water supplies through the process described in the Province of Ontario’s Clean Water Act. This legislation requires the mapping of significant water resource areas, the identification of risks to the quality or quantity of drinking water, and the development of policies and strategies to minimize those risks. For more information about Source Water Protection and the South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe Watershed Region, visit www.ourwatershed.ca.
