Lake Ontario Waterkeeper fulfills its mission by educating the public about Lake Ontario and the Great Lakes Basin and by conducting research and public education activities on behalf of the watershed.

The Clean Water Workshop
More info:
Developed by Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, is an innovative, powerful tool for protecting water quality in Canada and on the Great Lakes. The Workshop operates during the school year (September - April). Law students from schools like University of Toronto, Osgoode, Queen's, and Ottawa are assigned to cases to help communities affected by pollution. These students are guided through a series of bi-weekly discussion and training sessions in law, policy, politics, science, and media. Their work helps Waterkeeper identify emerging issues in environmental justice, cultivates our grassroots approach to the legal system, and provides invaluable assistance in the fight for clean water.
