Love Your Lake: Georgina

This summer, the Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition is partnering with the Town of Georgina to launch Love Your Lake, a community-based climate and water action campaign.

Together, we are helping residents understand how climate change is affecting Lake Simcoe — and how simple actions at home can improve water quality, reduce pollution, and build resilience.

Love Your Lake supports the Town of Georgina’s Climate Action Plan by turning awareness into practical, local action.

What is Love Your Lake?

Love Your Lake is an outreach and education campaign designed to:

  • Increase awareness of climate impacts on Lake Simcoe
  • Promote practical, property-level solutions
  • Build optimism and community leadership
  • Encourage participation in local climate action

Through community events, educational materials, and hands-on engagement, we will connect residents with tools and resources to reduce runoff, limit salt use, plant native species, and protect shorelines.

Why This Matters


Lake Simcoe is changing.

Our lake is:

  • Warming
  • Becoming saltier
  • Receiving more sediment after intense rainfall
  • Experiencing more frequent beach closures
  • Seeing more harmful blue-green algae outbreaks

Extreme precipitation events are increasing, and stormwater carries salt, phosphorus, and other pollutants directly into our streams and the lake.

The good news? What happens locally matters.

When residents take action — in their driveways, lawns, gardens, and shorelines — the cumulative impact can significantly improve water quality across the watershed.
