"The ODWSP operates under the Clean Water Act (2006) which helps protect drinking water from source to tap with a multi-barrier approach that stops contaminants from entering sources of drinking water - lakes, rivers and aquifers.
Ontario's Clean Water Act:
requires that local communities - through local Source Protection Committees - assess existing and potential threats to their water, and that they set out and implement the actions needed to reduce or eliminate these threats
empowers communities to take action to prevent threats from becoming significant
requires public participation on every local source protection plan - the planning process for source protection is open to anyone in the community
requires that all plans and actions are based on sound science.

The Ontario Trails Council is a registered charity, led by volunteers who promote the development, management, use and conservation of Ontario's trails.
