We Need Your Support
The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative launched the Stimulus Water Restoration Initiative on Monday, July 6, 2020, calling on federal elected officials in Canada and the United States to include water restoration priorities in any upcoming economic stimulus programs.
Our key message is that our federal governments must make every effort to accelerate the pace of recovery, and that the investments we are calling for will put residents to work and generate economic activity while addressing urgent needs in our communities. Specifically, the Cities Initiative is seeking investments that:
- Safeguard drinking water and modernize clean water infrastructure.
- Help communities respond to coastal erosion and impacts from extreme weather events.
We are asking that you take immediate action on these activities because stimulus legislation is already being discussed in both Ottawa and Washington D.C. Our staff will be reaching out to our members over the next few weeks to arrange virtual meetings with federal officials.
