May 24, 2022 - Lake Simcoe Watershed - The weather system that swept through Southern Ontario on Saturday May 21, 2022 has resulted in significant tree damage in a number of conservation areas in the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority watershed.
As a result, we have closed the following conservation areas to the public effective immediately: We ask that people stay away from these locations until further notice. We are working diligently on repairs which include the use of heavy equipment and chainsaws – it is important the public stay away for their own safety and to allow us to do this work.
We know how important these natural areas are to residents and will do our best to get them open, but safety is our priority at this time. Updates will be provided on social media when they become available.
It is the mission of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority to collaborate, protect and restore the Lake Simcoe watershed with innovative research, policy and action.
