Share Your Great Lakes Perspectives
Until Friday, April 3rd, submit your comments to the IJC to share your perspectives on Canadian and US governments’ latest Progress Report under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.
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.
Share your perspective on 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.
Actions you can take to get involved:
- Read the Progress Report of the Parties (published by Canada and the United States)
- Submit your comments to the IJC
- Attend one of the IJC’s public webinars
- Complete the survey to evaluate the governments’ progress report
When sharing your Great Lakes perspectives, consider including:
- How have changes to water quality impacted the way you live, work, play and engage with the Great Lakes?
- If you had a magic wand, what would you change to achieve progress on Great Lakes water quality?
- Three years from now, how do you hope changes to Great Lakes water quality will have changed the way you live, work, and play in the Great Lakes?
