Lake Simcoe has a rich and varied history of First Nations culture, of farming, fishing, forestry, ice harvesting, small towns, downtowns, and now run-away urban sprawl.
Lake Simcoe is a microcosm of the challenges confronting water and natural resources in Central and Southern Ontario today.
A recent study by the Nature Conservancy of Canada highlighted some of these threats, concluding that our ecoregion, as well as much of Southern Ontario, is in crisis.
Together with the Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition we’ve published a report highlighting some of the biggest threats to the health of Lake Simcoe and the communities surrounding it.
