What is your vision of the Great Lakes
St.Lawrence Watershed in 2035?
Are you part of the Great Lakes St.Lawrence watershed? If you live
in Caraquet, Ottawa, Québec City, or Niagara, then yes. In
fact, if you live anywhere that is within the orange colored
section of the image on the right, the answer is yes.
This watershed contains much of the continent's freshwater,
forests, fertile farm lands and marine habitats. It is also home to
most of Canada's population and many big cities, small towns and
villages.
What do you envision for this watershed? What would you like to see
as the future of this watershed? Answer the
2035 vision exercise and share it with other
members of the symphony. Make of it an art work or a family or
group activity! Express your vision in a way that can show the
world what unites us and what this watershed means to us, the
country and the world.

Fossil Fuel Exploration in the St.Lawrence
Waterways (River, Estuary and Gulf)
One of the issues facing the Southern Gulf of St.Lawrence is the
possibility of the region moving forward with exploiting
hydrocarbons (oil, gas) from both marine and terrestrial sources.
Some say it is an economic opportunity that can not be missed.
Others that it is an unacceptable environmental, social and
economic risk to our region's existing industries and
resources. What is your opinion?
