  3. Why our work is important • We are residents of the French River corridor who have come together with the common goal of ensuring that the water quality of the French River will be secured for present and future generations. • Our vision is to ensure that our great grandchildren are able to swim, fish and boat the French River as we do today.

  4. Our beginning • The stewardship council was formed in February 2006 when it became evident that a number of local residents had mutual concerns regarding the river but did not have a common voice. Since its inception the group has expanded and our public meetings have become well attended. • First public meeting took place in July 2007 with a follow up meeting in November 2007. The executive and board meet on a regular basis.

  5. Some of the things that we do • We educate and encourage people to practice environmentally responsible use of the waterway. • We have undertaken testing of the water at selected locations on an ongoing basis to monitor water quality. • We have reviewed current and historical water quality monitoring in order to develop projects that target problems. • We issue our findings to our members and to the general public. • We arrange for guest speakers that provide the public with information on topics of environmental importance. • We partner with groups, associations and with government agencies, who share our vision. • Our recommendations on future dam designs to ensure oxygenation have been accepted.

  6. Why we would like to partner with you • We would like to partner with you to promote the protection of this waterway. • We see our role as an advisory group. • We bring a high level of technical skills to assist you. • We will assist in the funding of projects of mutual benefit.

  7. As a follow-up • The FRSC is open to continuing our discussion on how we can work together. • We look forward to hearing the council’s reply to our proposal.
