Overview
Save Your Beach is a mission to improve water quality and habitat at beaches in the Lake Ontario watershed. Ranging from Niagara to Kingston to Haliburton and all points in between, Save Your Beach is a monumental undertaking to protect what you love.
There are more than 100 beaches in the Lake Ontario watershed. One of those is yours. Your beach is a place for family and friends. It is a place to escape. Your beach belongs to you, to your neighbours, to your community. It is your link to the past. It is part of who you are.
You deserve to know everything about your beach:
- Is the water clean?
- Is it safe to swim?
- How do you get there?
We will help. With your votes, we will work hard:
- Patrolling beaches in more than 30 communities
- Conducting field investigations
- Identifying causes of beach postings
- Developing preservation plans for threatened beaches
- Broadcasting the culture, history and beauty of your beach
Your place is by the water. Help us get you there.
