Summer is always a busy time around Lake Simcoe, and this August has been no exception. We have been out in communities across the watershed, talking with residents about the health of the lake, sharing practical ways people can help protect it and continuing to push governments for stronger action.
This month also brought an unexpected opportunity to put Lake Simcoe squarely into the political conversation.
Big news for Lake Simcoe:
The Green Sanderson Foundation has committed $300,000 over three years to the Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition — the most significant philanthropic investment in our organization’s history.
Lake Simcoe is at the heart of York—Simcoe. It supports our drinking water, farms, local businesses, tourism, recreation and quality of life. Protecting it is not simply an environmental issue. It is also about affordability, housing, public safety and responsible growth.
Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition’s 2025 Protect Our Plan report sets out practical steps the Province can take to protect the lake while making life better and more affordable for the people who live here.
