Why the citizen science hub thing we started might change the Great Lakes forever
Toronto Harbour is the place where I came to understand the importance of recreational waters. This is the harbour I look at year after year. And it’s the place where we created a community monitoring hub model that is now expanding to more Great Lakes.

What Kingston and Wolfe Island taught me about loving my Lake.
I spent my summer in Kingston and on Wolfe Island for Waterkeeper’s Kingston and Wolfe Island Culture Festival - a seven week celebration of Great Lakes voices told through story and song. The stories I knew I would hear were those of musicians from around Canada performing throughout the festival weeks, Canadian authors travelling in to read at the annual literary festival, and the city politicians who’ve turned their attention to the waterfront to better connect their public with their local waters.
Thank you for making this summer amazing.

Why your Kingston Shoreline Story is important.
The Shoreline Shuffle Salute Exhibit opened this past Saturday at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning. It was a beautiful day to remember the success of the 2013 Shoreline Shuffle, and to build on the progress of the original event with a community collection of Kingston Waterfront Stories.
