Thinking about taking a swim this weekend?

Natural water bodies are great places to play, swim, and cool off on a hot sunny day – but swimming in these areas is not risk-free. The conditions and quality of the water can change quickly due to a number of environmental factors, such as rain, high wind, and wildlife.

Before you go:
🌐Check water conditions on our website
⛅Be aware of weather
👥Make sure someone knows where you’re going, and when you’ll be back

While you’re there:
💦 Never swallow beach water at any time
🧼 After swimming, wash your hands or use hand sanitizer
🤝 Stay within reach of children and non-swimmers

Stay safe and enjoy your visit!

The Niagara Peninsula watershed is bursting with life — from wetlands and forests to pollinators, fish, birds, and native plants that help our ecosystems thrive.

Biodiversity in a watershed supports clean water, healthy habitats, climate resilience, and the natural spaces that connect us all to nature. Every restoration project, conservation effort, and community action helps sustain the species and ecosystems that make the Niagara Peninsula watershed unique.

Together, we can help ensure the Niagara Peninsula watershed remains a thriving home for biodiversity for generations to come. Happy International Day for Biological Diversity!

The invasive spotted lanternfly (SLF) is a growing concern for Ontario’s horticulture and natural areas. While there are no confirmed established populations in Ontario, it has become a significant issue in nearby U.S. states. Staying aware and knowing what to look for can help support early detection. It's important to be on the lookout for egg masses and nymphs in the wild and all stages of life on imports.

If you spot SLF at any stage, remember:
🔍 SPOT IT Learn the signs and stay alert in outdoor spaces and on transported items.
📸 SNAP IT Take clear photos to help with identification and reporting.
🫙 CATCH IT If possible, safely contain or destroy the insect or egg mass.
📢 REPORT IT Report sightings to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

It was inspiring to see the passion and interest people have in helping shape the future of the Lake Ontario shoreline. Your stories, experiences, and input will help guide the development of a future Coastal Resilience Management Plan for the shoreline.

🌊 Our work continues! We look forward to connecting with communities this summer and seeing you again this fall for another round of open houses.
