Year Two Projects
Pickering, Ontario
The City of Pickering has an ambitious plan to restore Frenchman’s Bay, starting with Rotary Frenchman’s Bay West Park. With the Weston Family Foundation’s support, the city can restore wetland habitat in Frenchman’s Bay and find ways to connect people to Lake Ontario at the park.
Windsor, ontario
In the Detroit River, the City of Windsor’s Peche Island has long been a refuge for endangered species. This restoration project helps protect Peche Island by creating a series of small islands to stop erosion and provide habitat for four key species: Lake Sturgeon, Spiny Softshell Turtle, Northern Madtom and the Channel Darter.
Township of tiny, Ontario
In Ontario, The Great Trail travels through the Township of Tiny where it crosses Copeland Creek. Along this section of the Trail, an antiquated culvert funnels the creek underneath a bridge, preventing natural flow. Replacing this culvert will mitigate upstream flooding created by the culvert.
Mississauga, Ontario
The City of Mississauga is rethinking its relationship to Lake Ontario and how it can connect people to its waterfront. Now as part of the Great Lakes Challenge, and with support from the Weston Family Foundation, the city will transform its waterfront with the Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area.
