Canada’s Environment Minister, the Honourable Peter Kent, announced that the Government of Canada will continue its support for the clean up of Lake Simcoe. The Government will invest $2.9M in the seventh round of the Lake Simcoe Clean-Up Fund, as part of the Action Plan for Clean Water. Initiatives funded by the Lake Simcoe Clean-Up Fund are designed to preserve and protect the environment of Lake Simcoe. “This government is committed to ensuring cleaner waters from coast to coast for all Canadians. Since 2008, the Government of Canada’s $30 million Lake Simcoe Clean-Up Fund has allowed Canadians who work, live and play near Lake Simcoe to enjoy the benefits of a cleaner lake,” said Minister Kent. “The Lake Simcoe Clean-Up Fund makes the protection and rehabilitation of Lake Simcoe’s environment a priority and we are delivering real results,” said Minister Van Loan, Member of Parliament for York-Simcoe. “This latest round of projects will continue to support community groups and organizations that are working hard to protect Lake Simcoe’s watershed for future generations.”
