Life depends on fresh water, but we often take it for granted.
According to the Provincial Policy Statement, land use planning authorities should be “using the watershed as the ecologically meaningful scale for integrated and long-term planning”.
Is our system of watershed planning and management up to the task to safeguard Ontario’s environmental, social, and economic future?
Join us to hear the perspectives of three widely-respected professionals: Jack Imhof, Mark Peacock, and Kerry-Ann Charles.
Please join us at The Water Table for presentations, discussion, and collective action to better protect this precious resource.
Join us for at 6:30 pm March 31 for The Importance of Watershed Management to Ontario’s Future Wellbeing, with Jack Imhoff, Mark Peacock, and Kerry-Ann Charles. See the full agenda and register here.
It’s a bit like the shift from treating water issues after they appear to actually planning for them upfront. Most of our local land-use decisions still treat water as an afterthought, so a webinar dedicated to the Provincial Policy Statement feels overdue. Curious if this will push any real changes.

Local planning meetings here rarely mention water unless a well goes dry. The webinar’s focus on the Provincial Policy Statement sounds helpful, but I keep wondering whether municipalities have enough hydrogeological expertise to apply these rules properly. Is that addressed?

It’s easy to nod along with the Provincial Policy Statement until you realize how rarely water impact assessments actually shape a development proposal. I’d love to know whether the webinar gets into enforcement, not just guidance. Who holds planning authorities accountable when the policy is ignored?

The point about taking fresh water for granted hit home for me. I’ve watched my own municipality approve developments without a clear water impact plan, and it’s frustrating. Curious if the webinar will address how citizens can push back during public consultations.

The proportionate integration of many variables is what I value. The logic evolves without needless emphasis. The website offers further contextual information related to the topic. Interactive service ecosystems broaden the analysis's breadth.
