The Long Point Biosphere Region was selected for funding by the Canada Water Agency to develop a Resilience Action Plan for the north shore of Lake Erie, from Port Glasgow to Long Point. Key goals of the plan are to restore natural shoreline processes and increase resilience to coastal hazards. For more information please go to: www.northshoreresilience.ca
The North Shore Resilience Project is currently seeking applicants to sit on the Public Advisory Committee (PAC). The PAC will help shape the North Shore Resilience Action Plan by communicating the priorities and values of communities and stakeholders, as well as providing feedback on the technical investigations and restoration projects. The PAC members will also act as community ambassadors who further disseminate information on coastal processes and ecosystem restoration opportunities in their communities.
Eligible applicants must live or own property in one of the following municipalities: West Elgin, Dutton-Dunwich, Southwold, Central Elgin, Malahide, Bayham or Norfolk.
Those interested may fill out the online application form at: www.northshoreresilience.ca/engagement/ or contact conservation@longpointbiosphere.com for a paper form.
Applications must be received by February 14, 2025.
