The Great Lakes Protection Act Alliance

The Great Lakes Protection Act Alliance is a committed group of organizations and individuals that are working together to ensure the full implementation of Ontario’s Great Lakes Protection Act including:

• the protection and restoration of the ecological health of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin; and
• the creation of opportunities for individuals and communities to become involved in the protection and restoration of the ecological health of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River Basin.

To achieve this goal, the Alliance:

• Brings people and organizations together to have conversations about implementing the Act;
• Encourages the use of the tools enabled in the Act (by governments, individuals, communities, and others); and
• Monitors and encourages government progress toward meaningful implementation of the Act.

Protecting and Restoring the Ecological Health of Our Waters

In 2015, Ontario passed the Great Lakes Protection Act, but to fully realize the purposes of the Act, much more needs to be accomplished.

In this briefing document, the Great Lakes Protection Act Alliance outlines expectations for implementation of the Act for 2017-18. Our expectations focus on the key elements that are necessary to fulfill the purposes of the Act.
