Activity Review – July 2008

News from your French River Stewardship Council

New Logo – we ran a contest to create a distinctive look for the organization – see the winner’s letters on this page

Activities –Water sampling has begun at 14 points along the river.  These monthly samples are used to determine phosphate levels, one of the key indicators of water quality that we are monitoring.

Survey – We are very fortunate to have the support of a student from Lakehead University – Mr. Ian Wells – who will be conducting a survey of various activities and uses of the river during the summer months

Ian will be travelling the river, talking with folks about their activities and compiling a summary of his results.  This information will further assist us as we learn more about our water system, its uses and the impact of the use on the quality of the resource

If you should meet Ian, please extend him a warm French River welcome and assist him in any way you can

Public Meeting  Plans are currently being finalized for our annual Public meeting to be held August 10^th in Alban (see advertisement on this page)

We are expecting to provide information about the water and sewage handling in Noelville, results of our testing to date, specific areas where we see potential problems and things YOU can do to ensure we maintain a very high level of water quality.

Please mark this date on your calendar and join us as we review our activities for the last year and discuss our plans and visions for our future.

Your participation is an essential part of the work we do, the activities we undertake, and the impact we make on your water

See you on August 10^th!
