Ganaraska River Watershed Background Report
GANARASKA RIVER WATERSHED BACKGROUND REPORT For the Ganaraska River Fisheries Management Plan, Community Advisory Committee Prepared by: M. Desjardins, J. Lapierre and A. Smith March 2007 Ganaraska River Watershed Background Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Ganaraska River Watershed has long been recognized for its clear cold water and excellent trout and salmon fisheries. Historically, the Ganaraska River supported healthy resident brook trout populations and migratory Atlantic salmon from Lake Ontario. In the early 1800s, dams near the mouth of the Ganaraska River blocked Atlantic salmon runs. By the 1870s, Atlantic salmon populations had collapsed in most Lake Ontario rivers. The role of Atlantic salmon as a top predator in Lake Ontario has since been replaced with stocked Pacific salmon and trout. The Ganaraska River ecosystem has seen a significant positive change since the 1940s when a series of studies and restoration projects began. Currently the Ganaraska River Watershed supports one of the largest wild rainbow trout runs in the Lake Ontario basin. In the past, fisheries management of the Ganaraska River was guided by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, Lindsay District Fisheries Management Plan. In 2000, the plan expired and the lead agencies responsible for fish and aquatic habitat management merged to direct the development of a new management plan. A Technical Steering Committee (TSC) was established to help guide the development of a background report and fisheries management plan. Since 1994, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (OMNR) and the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA) have collected information on the current state of the fisheries and aquatic habitat across the Ganaraska River Watershed.

Proposed Changes to the Conservation Authorities Act and Planning Act Will Affect You and Your Environment
Proposed Changes to the Conservation Authorities Act and Planning Act Will Affect You and Your Environment PORT HOPE, November 26, 2020 - The environment needs your help. And the Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA) is asking for your support. On November 5th 2020, the Ontario government tabled Bill 229 Protect, Support, and Recover from COVID-19 Act (Budget Measures), which includes Schedule 6 that proposes major changes to the Conservation Authorities Act that we all, including you, need to be concerned about. The GRCA is hoping to have your support by voicing your opinion and expressing your concerns to the Province and to your local MPPs. It is important that Conservation Authorities (CAs) be given more opportunity to have a dialogue with the Province to improve the delivery of our programs and services; but the most meaningful way to do this is through constructive conversation and public consultation, not by rushing changes through an omnibus bill using COVID as the rationale. The GRCA needs its friends to act today by emailing, calling, and sharing your support of Ontario's CAs and the GRCA's vision of 'Clean Water, Healthy Land for Healthy Communities'. The proposed amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act could have significant environmental impacts due to decisions being made without consideration of the local watershed science and data provided by conservation authorities. The changes could potentially add significant delays and costs in enforcement, planning and permitting processes, and have significant impacts on CA’s ability to provide cost-effective flooding and natural hazards management/protection and drinking water source protection to Ontarians.
