The Provincial Government has created
a new Department of Water Stewardship (first in Canada!) This
new Ministry combines several existing government programs that
deal with our province's water resources. Save Our Seine was invited
to discuss these changes with the Ministers responsible for Conservation
and Water Stewardship.
The meetings were a wonderful opportunity
to share SOS's accomplishments and current challenges to the new
Minister of Conservation, the Honourable Stan Struthers.
The Honourable Minister Steve Ashton
(long time friend of SOS) shared his exciting new challenges forming
a new Ministry and welcomed input from SOS.
Topics discussed covered the Red
River Floodway Expansion Project and its effects on the Seine
River Environment. Water Quality monitoring along the Seine River
was also discussed and plans will commence on designing a water
quality program with the Province as a partner.
