It’s important that we speak up on water taking - our neighbours at the Wellington Water Watchers are certainly doing a stellar job raising awareness on this issue. Hopefully everyone will take a few minutes to respond to the EBR posting.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">There has been a surprise posting by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry of their draft Climate Adaptation Strategy to the Environmental Registry:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.ebr.gov.on.ca/ERS-WEB-External/displaynoticecontent.do?noticeId=MTMxMzg4&statusId=MTk5MzAw&language=en" class="">https://www.ebr.gov.on.ca/ERS-WEB-External/displaynoticecontent.do?noticeId=MTMxMzg4&statusId=MTk5MzAw&language=en</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This draft strategy has significant implications for all aspects of Ontario and the Great Lakes yet was posted with no publicity, no media coverage, no public meetings and seems headed for an immediate decision with a deadline of only March 13th for submissions. Some environmental groups are appealing to the government for an extension. Be sure to speak up about any concerns or ideas and submit any comments you may have for this important government resilience strategy.<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Also, it sounds like a great concert on Sunday Eleanor - I’ve heard the Nota Ben Baroque players in the past and their concerts are fantastic!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks for sharing,</div><div class="">Kevin.<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">-------------------------------------<br class=""><div class=""><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><br class="">Kevin Thomason<br class=""><br class="">1115 Cedar Grove Road<br class="">Waterloo, Ontario Canada N2J 3Z4<br class=""><br class="">Phone: (519) 888-0519<br class="">Mobile Phone: (519) 240-1648<br class="">Twitter: @kthomason<br class="">E-mail: <a href="mailto:kevinthomason@mac.com" class="">kevinthomason@mac.com</a><br class=""><br class="">-----------------------------------------</div>
