The Ontario Headwaters Institute invites you to attend one of a series of seven community workshops being held across south-central Ontario on Preserving Ontario’s Headwaters.

Headwaters consist of small streams and wetlands. Together, they constitute most of the length and provide the majority of the flow, nutrients, organic material, and niche habitats of our watercourses. To help preserve these valuable components of our regional ecosystems, please join us at a community workshop to discuss: the importance of Ontario’s headwaters, current policy & stewardship initiatives, and collaborative efforts for the future.

Seven workshops are being staged from Elora to Peterborough thanks to funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, extensive support from conservation authorities, and the participation of both local event and regional communication partners, including Water Canada.

Registration is free but required in advance. Detailed agendas and maps to each event are available at www.ohwi.ca/2010workshop.
