From my previous experience as Mayor of East Gwillimbury, and York Region’s representative on the Lake Simcoe Conversation Authority, the information, solutions, and cost-analysis is quite in-line with the actions needed to address the phosphorus pollution issues facing Lake Simcoe. I believe that the Province of Ontario should take the lead role in providing the dollars needed to meet the targets outlined within the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan. It should also be the responsibility of the municipalities/regions surrounding Lake Simcoe to take responsibility and not only build more funding into their development charge by-laws toward phosphorus reduction, but also to take more aggressive actions in the recommendations provided (e.g., permeable parking lots, storm water retentions, cisterns, etc.).
