The lakes and their associated habitats are not only spatially and temporally dynamic but are under constant threat from anthropogenic disturbances and introduction or proliferation of several exotic species. For these reasons, it is essential to increase our knowledge about the ecology, management, and threats facing waterfowl in the Great Lakes region. Presently, there are several government agencies, private organizations, and university researchers monitoring and studying waterfowl in and around the Great Lakes basin. However, collaboration among these parties could be improved, particularly across political boundaries. To promote communication, coordination, collaboration, and idea sharing among interested parties, the Long Point Waterfowl and Wetlands Research Fund, Canadian Wildlife Service - Environment Canada, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, and Ducks Unlimited decided to organize this Great Lakes Waterfowl Symposium.

Leech, P.Geo. Practice Lead, Environment The Corporation of the Town of Saugeen Shores Initial Screening for Siting a Deep Geological Repository for Canada’s Used Nuclear Fuel Executive Summary On May 14, 2012, the Corporation of the Town of Saugeen Shores expressed interest in learning more about the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s (NWMO) site selection process to find an informed and willing community to host a deep geological repository for Canada’s used nuclear fuel (NWMO, 2010). This report summarizes the findings of an initial screening, conducted by AECOM, to evaluate the potential suitability of the Town of Saugeen Shores against five screening criteria using readily available information. The purpose of the initial screening is to identify whether there are any obvious conditions that would exclude the Town of Saugeen Shores from further consideration in the site selection process. The initial screening focused on the areas within the boundaries of the Town of Saugeen Shores.

  • Food Is My Medicine-Climate Change FN.Pdf
    “My Food is My Medicine, My Medicine is My Food” First Nations and Metis People of Grey and Bruce: a forage into traditional food use, climate change and health. Grey Bruce Health Unit Acknowledgements This report was prepared for the Grey Bruce Health Unit by Krista Youngblood, Master of Public Health Graduate Student, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The practicum placement was supported by a grant from the Canadian Institute of Health Research. The views expressed in this report are those of the Author and not necessarily represent those of the Grey Bruce Health Unit, the University of Waterloo or the Canadian Institute of Health Research. This project developed under the guidance of Alanna Leffley, Sr. Epidemiologist at the Grey Bruce Health Unit. Alanna was a valuable sounding board and provided thoughtful criticism that assisted my work greatly. Instrumental to this investigation were the people who were willing to share their stories with me. I thank you all, and look forward to seeing you again as I truly hope our paths will cross again. I have learned a great deal about the First People of this land, and the Metis Nation that was born from the merging of two worlds. I simply cannot express the gratitude I feel for the opportunity to learn so much and for feeling so welcome in your midst. Thank you to everyone who shared your stories with me. I simply do not have the words to express my gratitude and how much it meant to me personally. A special thank you to Victoria Serda, Lori Kewaquom, Lenore Keshig, Mary Miller, Michelle Desjardine, and Dee Miller for assisting me so willingly in this endeavor.
