Share your Great Lakes perspectives
Canada and the United States work together through the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement to keep the Great Lakes clean and healthy. Every three years, the International Joint Commission (IJC) assesses progress towards the Agreement’s goals for drinkable, fishable, swimmable Great Lakes.
In early 2026, the IJC will commence a public comment period to hear your perspective how the governments are doing to restore, protect and enhance Great Lakes water quality. Your input helps inform the IJC’s independent advice to both governments.
