Overview
Lake Links is a one day workshop held every October, typically in Perth, Ontario. Due to current health guidelines and the safety of attendees, this year's workshop will take place exclusively online. The theme of the 21st Annual Lake Links is "Challenges and Solutions for Lake & River Health – How Associations have recognized threats on their lakes and rivers, and what steps they have taken to address them".
This workshop will be held on Zoom, with each presentation being recorded and posted to Watersheds Canada's YouTube channel after the event.
Lake Links is a collaborative one-day workshop held every October. It attracts community individuals and scientists to share ways we can help sustain our lakes and rivers. Individuals spread across five watersheds in Eastern Ontario and beyond attend this day-long event to learn, network and see what’s new. Each year, Lake Links addresses the lake and river issues that matter most to our communities with expert speakers, breakout sessions, and dynamic presentations.
Each year, financial support for Lake Links is received from various partners across the environmental sector. The current Lake Links Planning Committee has representatives from Cataraqui Conservation, Friends of the Tay Watershed, Lake Networking Group, Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, and Watersheds Canada. This Committee is fundamental to the success of Lake Links each year.
This event is free but donations are greatly appreciated.
**Note: ticket sales end on Friday, October 21st at 4pm EST.
