Hello, - From swimming and boating to fishing, Lake Simcoe is one of Ontario's most popular recreation destinations.

We recently launched a Sustainable Recreation Survey to continue our discussion about outdoor recreation in the Lake Simcoe watershed.  The survey will help us better understand personal interests and attitudes regarding sustainable recreation. The results of the survey will inform the work underway to develop a Multi-seasonal Recreation Strategy for the Lake Simcoe Watershed.  

I would greatly appreciate your help in raising awareness about the survey and encouraging your members and associates to “Tell us what they think”.  

Thank you for you consideration  - Tim Krsul Tim.Krsul@ontario.ca
