ONTARIO PARTNERS WITH INDIGENOUS
LEADERS TO PROTECT GREAT LAKES
THE ONTARIO GOVERNMENT is investing
nearly $1 million to support Indigenous-led projects and increased collaboration with Indigenous organizations
and youth to help protect and restore the
Great Lakes.
David Piccini, Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, made
the announcement at the seventh annual
meeting of the Great Lakes Guardians’
Council, which Ontario co-chaired with
Anishinabek Nation.
“Our government is proud to support
Indigenous-led projects that are engaging
First Nations youth to help protect the
Thames River and make eating fish along
the northern shores of Lake Superior safer
for local First Nations and Métis communities,” said Piccini. “Working together,
we will continue to protect, conserve and
restore the health of the Great Lakes and
support the well-being of communities
that rely on them now and for generations
to come.”
