Great Lakes Coastal Symposium 

In December, the Canada Water Agency and the Toronto Regional Conservation Authority hosted the second annual Great Lakes Freshwater Ecosystem Initiative (GLFWI) coastal symposium in Burlington, Ontario. Despite wintry weather, nearly 80 attendees shared a day of presentations and discussions. The event featured presentations and panels on:

  • Coastal resilience & adaptation
  • Restoration approaches
  • Science & modelling
  • Collaboration & engagement
Our GBA Associations even got a shout-out from Professor Chow-Fraser’s team, which is developing an assessment system to see how Georgian Bay wetlands cope with changes in water levels. GBA members have hosted her researchers many times over the years, a tradition that will continue in 2026. Thanks so much for your support for this work!
