Announcement

Canada announced an investment of $420 million over 10 years, starting in 2023, through the Great Lakes Freshwater Ecosystem Initiative, to accelerate the restoration and protection of the Great Lakes.

Great Lakes Freshwater Ecosystem Initiative

The Great Lakes Freshwater Ecosystem Initiative supports local projects to address environmental challenges affecting Great Lakes water quality and ecosystem health.

Canada announced an investment of $420 million over 10 years, starting in 2023, through the Great Lakes Freshwater Ecosystem Initiative, to accelerate the restoration and protection of the Great Lakes. This was part of Canada’s larger investment of $650 million in the Freshwater Action Plan to protect and restore freshwater bodies of national significance. 

Through the Freshwater Action Plan, Canada aims to: 

  • complete remedial actions in 12 of 14 Canadian Areas of Concern by 2030, and in all 14 by 2038; and
  • meet phosphorus load reduction targets for Lake Erie by 2039.

    • The Canada Water Agency is funding 31 new projects over 3 years starting in 2026-2027, totaling over $6.6 million. This is in addition to almost $6.5 million over 4 years, starting in 2024-2025, in dedicated funding to the Chiefs of Ontario and Anishinabek Nation to support their participation in Great Lakes governance, science and stewardship. 
     
    These investments will focus on the following priorities:

  • Restoring water quality and ecosystem health in Great Lakes Areas of Concern
  • Restoring and protecting critically important coastal areas, including wetlands
  • Increasing participation of Indigenous peoples in governance, stewardship, and monitoring
  • Advancing Great Lakes governance, accountability, and reporting mechanisms

    • Preventing toxic and nuisance algae (Lake Ontario)
