Happy World Water Day! Did you know the Great Lakes are one of the world's largest surface freshwater ecosystems? ![]()

We're extremely lucky to live in the great lakes basin which accounts for 21 percent of the world's freshwater. The lakes provide drinking water to millions of people in the United States and Canada. If you are located in Windsor, LaSalle, or Amherstburg, you likely get your drinking water from the Detroit River! ![]()
