Lake Simcoe Sub-Watershed Plans
Sub-watershed plans have now been completed for nearly all of the tributaries flowing into the lake, as well as the islands of the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation. As part of the sub-watershed planning process, implementation plans have been developed which identify a schedule of priority projects to be completed, as well as which agencies will be responsible for their completion.
