The good health of Lake Simcoe is vital to the good health of our residents and to the quality of life we all enjoy.
Protecting it is of paramount importance.
Phosphorous and salt are two of the biggest threats to the health of Lake Simcoe.
It has been 13 years since the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan was released by the Province.
Now, in 2022, our communities are continuing to grow and the pressures on our precious Lake Simcoe are many.
As Mayor of Georgina, I will insist that Georgina does everything it reasonably can to reduce its own impacts on Lake Simcoe and our three rivers. I will implore upon both the Provincial and Federal Governments to
provide funding and take swift action. Not only with regards to phosphorous pollution, but also the very real need to find alternatives to the use of salt on our highways, roads and parking lots. We are literally over a third of the way to having a salt water lake!
I will continue to work with the L.S.R.C.A. and all parties with an interest in protecting the health of Lake Simcoe, including our area’s traditional water protectors the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation.
A collaborative effort is needed. Georgina will, most certainly, be there. Our future, Lake Simcoe’s future
depends on it.
