blooms in Lake Erie, and we know it’s affecting our drinking water. We
know nutrient pollution is a contributing factor and is threatening many of our
precious Great Lakes.</span></div><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial;" class="">What is perhaps more confusing is what’s being
done about it. Lots of work is going on at the federal, provincial and
municipal level, but it can be hard to keep track of it all! If you share our curiosity, join us for a <a href="http://action.freshwateralliance.ca/page/signup/keeping-lake-erie-alive-a-crash-course-in-who-s-doing-what-about-algal-blooms-and-your-water" class="">webinar</a>
on Wednesday, March 4<sup class="">th</sup> from 12:00pm - 1:30pm EST. A series of
presentations will provide a bird’s eye view of who is doing what on the Lake
Erie algae issue.</span></div><div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: Arial;" class="">Speakers will include Susan Humphrey from
Environment Canada (representing the Great Lakes Executive Committee Nutrients Annex
Subcommittee); Cale Selby from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and
Rural Affairs; Kevin Money from the Essex Region Conservation Authority,
and Jill Ryan from Freshwater Future (US). Each presenter will share what
their organization is doing about algae and nutrients in Lake Erie, as well as
their thoughts about the role for community groups in addressing algae blooms
and water quality. Learn what these organizations are doing to
reach out to communities, and join in a discussion about how your group could
be part of the solution. <a href="http://action.freshwateralliance.ca/page/signup/keeping-lake-erie-alive-a-crash-course-in-who-s-doing-what-about-algal-blooms-and-your-water" class="">Register</a>
