The Ontario Headwaters Institute 
   Preserving Ontario's headwaters through education and action


February 16, 2010


  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.
