In addition, the St. Clair River Remedial Action Plan Coordinator will be providing an update on efforts to restore the St. Clair River aquatic environment.
A light dinner and refreshments will be provided.

Seating is limited so those that wish to attend are encouraged to register by September 16, 2024, to secure a spot.

In 1987, the governments of Canada and the United States identified the St. Clair River as an Area of Concern (AOC) due to urban and industrial development. For over 30 years, the local community, First Nation communities, government, and industry have been working together to improve the water quality and aquatic habitat of the St. Clair River and remove if from the list of Great Lakes Areas of Concern.
