Our Position on Lake Ontario Water Levels ...

The Friends of Wellers Bay takes no political position on the regulation of Lake Ontario water levels at this time.

At the Friends of Wellers Bay Annual General Meeting held on August 10, 2019, the following resolution was passed by the membership, and subsequently submitted to Pierre Beland, Canadian Section Chair, International Joint Commission:

"THAT the Friends of Wellers Bay submit a letter to the International Joint Commission (IJC) to express concerns over the exceedingly high waters in Lake Ontario and the damage that has occurred, asking that action be considered by the IJC to mitigate future flooding."

The Friends of Wellers Bay is a charitable organization established in 1987. The vision of FOWB is to endeavour to be the trusted and respected voice of all members for the enhancement, enjoyment and preservation of the natural environment of Wellers Bay.

It intends to accomplish this vision through the following:

Pertinent to the health and welfare of Wellers Bay, we will:

1. Provide resources and education on topics that are timely and relevant;
2. Participate in research and activities consistent with our values and our vision;
3. Provide stewardship for the dredging of the channel and maintenance of the breakwall;
4. Develop and maintain relationships with internal and external stakeholders;
5. Promote pride and responsibility in the care and protection of Wellers Bay by engaging with and involving the community.
