NEW Survey for property owners along Lake Ontario:
The International Joint Commission has created a survey for property owners along Lake Ontario to provide information that could lead to revisions to the agency's lake level management plan. I encourage you to share the survey with anyone in your community who may have been impacted by the high water levels so that the IJC can understand the full extent of damage done over the past few years and hopefully improve their lake management systems.
