The Lake Simcoe Protection Act provides the authority for the establishment of (and amendments to) the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan - the plan aimed at restoring and protecting the threatened ecology of Lake Simcoe and its watershed.
Some of the objectives of the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan include:
- protecting, improving or restoring the elements that contribute to the ecological health of the Lake Simcoe and watershed, including water quality, hydrology and key natural heritage features
- restoring a self-sustaining coldwater fish community
- reducing loading of phosphorus and other nutrients of concern into Lake Simcoe and its tributaries
- reducing the discharge of pollutants to Lake Simcoe and its tributaries.
The Lake Simcoe Protection Act brings together and builds upon the many projects launched by groups and individuals to protect and restore the health of Lake Simcoe and its watershed.
