Climate Change – How to Build Resiliency in our Lakes

The 11th Annual Lake Links workshop will be held on Saturday October 20, 2012
at the Perth Civitan Hall.

Are you wondering what changes we will see in Eastern Ontario lakes in response to climate change? Are you interested in learning how we as a community can build resiliency in our lakes as our climate continues to change? 

Objective of the Day: Provide a general discussion of climate change trends in Ontario focusing on 4 themes

1.      Social

2.      Environmental

3.      Recreational/Economical

4.      What can we do about it

Topics that will be discussed include: provincial perspective on dealing with climate change and the adaptation strategy, invasive species, shift in vegetation communities, weather events, general changes on the landscape, water levels, water quality and how we can take action.

Expert speakers will discuss relevant decision-making tools and attendees will gain in-depth information at panel Q & A sessions.  You will have the opportunity to network with community members and representatives from neighboring lake groups, municipalities, conservation authorities, stewardship councils, government and non-government organizations. 

We will explore how we can adapt on a practical individual and local level. 

Who will be Interested?

Lake Association Members, Lake Stewards, Municipal Staff and Politician, Scientists and Local Government and Non-Government Organizations
