SWIMMING OUR WAY INTO PEOPLES HEART’S
ERA is pleased to donate a laptop to the Manitoulin Streams Improvement Association in central Ontario. The Manitoulin Streams Improvement Association is grass roots, a not-for -profit organization that is focused on large-scale, community-based efforts to rehabilitate aquatic ecosystems on Manitoulin Island, in Ontario. They bring the entire community together to do this via joint private and public driven initiatives. Their efforts rehabilitate and enhance water quality and the fisheries resource on Manitoulin Island and Lake Huron which is fed by the streams.
Their Mission is to create, through the rehabilitation and enhancement of important cold water streams, healthy and self-sustaining river ecosystems that contribute to the ecological, economic and social health of Manitoulin Island and the Great Lakes that surround it. In this picture (left to right) are Maria Diebolt (Project Associate), Sue Meert (Outreach Coordinator) and Grant Turner (Cambrian College student on a one-month placement). This laptop will be used to showcase presentations about the organization and their ongoing projects to the public. Some upcoming presentations include a Water Talk in M’Chigeeng First Nation and a Grade 4 talk at Assiginack Public School.
