The Kensington Conservancy has been awarded a $25,000 grant through Ontario’s Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund to help protect the Great Lakes.



The Conservancy, along with its community partners and volunteers, will use the money to conduct species inventories along the North Shore of Lake Huron.

This information will help focus environmental efforts on protecting specific species and improving their habitat.



“Congratulations to The Kensington Conservancy for helping to protect our Great Lakes,” said Environment Minister Jim Bradley. “This is a good example of community groups coming together to help ensure that our Great Lakes are drinkable, swimmable and fishable.”



Ontario is helping communities protect their part of the Great Lakes through the Great Lakes Guardian Community Fund which offers grants to grassroots community groups for activities such as cleaning up a beach or shoreline, restoring a wetland, or creating a costal or riverside trail.
