The Ontario Headwaters Institute 







   Preserving Ontario ’s headwaters through education and action
 


 
February 17, 2010
 
We hope this announcment, which includes a workshop in Elora on March 29, may be of interest to your members.
 
Please contact us at your convenience for more information.
 
 
 
 
  The Ontario Headwaters Institute invites you to attend one of a series of seven  

          community workshops being held across south-central Ontario on:
 
                   PRESERVING ONTARIO ’S HEADWATERS
 
Headwaters consist of small streams and wetlands. Together, they constitute 
most of the length and provide the majority of the flow, nutrients, organic 
material, and niche habitats of our watercourses.
 
To help preserve these valuable components of our regional ecosystems,
 please join us at a community workshop to discuss:
·         the importance of Ontario ’s headwaters, 
·         current policy & stewardship initiatives, and 
·         collaborative efforts for the future.
 
Seven workshops are being staged from Elora to Peterborough thanks to funding 
from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, extensive support from conservation 
authorities and the participation of both local event and 
regional communication partners, whom we thank sincerely. 
 
                      Registration is free but required in advance in order to ensure
                             that enough coffee, chairs, and handouts are available.
