It was one of six in-person sessions held across southern Ontario between February 6-22.

The in-person sessions had the following goals:

  • To educate and engage interested individuals and organizations about Ontario’s water protection policies, particularly in response to the Protecting Water for Future Generations proposal; and,
  • To listen to the community, whose observations informed the submission (see below).

At the session, feedback was sought on the following questions:

  2. Are there other areas of the province where increased protection for water should be applied?
  3. Is the Province doing enough to protect water?
