Partnership promotes Healthy Lake Huron from land to lake


We are all pieces of the puzzle,
according to Lake Huron partnership
Lake Huron partners are promoting a healthy Lake Huron from land to the lake.

The Healthy Lake Huron partnership says we are all a ‘piece of the puzzle’ when it comes to keeping this Great Lake great. 

Local partners have created videos and social media and website posts, throughout 2020, to engage people in best management practices for towns, villages, and cities and for agriculture and industry. 

Thousands of people have been engaged by this campaign.

The Piece of the Puzzle information campaign began in spring of 2020 and continues throughout December and into 2021. The campaign themes are Soil, Water, Food, Beach, Nature, and Community. Everyone’s actions fit into one or more of these categories, according to the Partnership. 

"Together, each of our puzzle pieces create the complete and complex puzzle of a Healthy Lake Huron," according to the healthylakehuron.ca website. "We cannot see the whole picture without fitting the pieces together first. How do you fit in, and what can you do to help improve the health of this beautiful watershed?"

There have been many positive actions over the past decade. They range from soil health and cover crop initiatives to water quality monitoring and reduction of water quality impacts from multiple sources.

"However, we realize we still have work to do to address ongoing water quality and soil health challenges," according to Healthy Lake Huron.

Community and individual actions work. That is a message, for people along or near Lake Huron's southeast shore, from Jo-Anne Harbinson, Manager of Stewardship Services at Saugeen Conservation. She educates and supports the public in their work to improve water quality.

"Everyone has a part to play in water quality and ecosystem health," she said.

Partners in the Healthy Lake Huron initiative, along Lake Huron’s southeast shore, include local public health, local government, Departments and Ministries, communities and landowners, and local conservation organizations.

The Healthy Lake Huron Partnership encourages people to follow the social media information campaign with topics that include soil biodiversity, stormwater management, the value of wetlands, carbon sequestration, water quality, individual and community actions, and more.

The Partnership thanks all the people who have taken positive actions, for Lake Huron, in 2020, and wishes everyone the best for the holiday season and in 2021.
From all the community partners working to protect the southeast shores of Lake Huron, to all of you, we wish you the very best in 2020, during the holiday season, and all the very best for 2021.

The year 2020 was a year of great challenges and disruption yet it was also a year when we found new ways to move forward with work to keep this Great Lake great.

We had to do things differently in 2020, to follow public health direction during the current pandemic and to help keep everyone safe, but we were also able to continue progress on many projects, doing a great deal of important work in new ways.

We thank you for your commitment to Lake Huron, which is so important as a source of drinking water, as a source of recreation and economic activity, as a habitat for living things, and much more.
