The Elora Environment Centre and the Ontario Headwaters Institute
invite you to a community workshop 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.
