Dear Great Lakes citizen,

Please join us the weekend of June 6 through 8 for our 21st annual meeting in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. See the meeting agenda below for more details.

Join us in discussing crucial plans and opportunities for a comprehensive basin restoration campaign and the release of the "Great Lakes Green Book: - A Citizens Action Agenda for Restoring the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Ecosystem." The Action Agenda is the culmination of a year's collaboration by over thirty organizations throughout the basin. Together we have developed a grassroots set of goals, targets, and strategies that will help anchor and strengthen all Great Lakes restoration work. A panel of political experts will discuss opportunities and strategies for moving the Action Agenda forward.

Location

Our site for this year's annual meeting is the beautiful Native Education Centre at Sault College, in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Just minutes away is a city that offers an outstanding natural environment and rests on the shores of the St. Marys River.
