🌊 Huron Shores Water Monitoring Project – 2025

The Municipality of Huron Shores is proud to lead a new community-based water monitoring initiative in partnership with the Northern Policy Institute and Water Rangers. This collaborative effort empowers local volunteers to monitor the health of our lakes, rivers, and creeks — collecting weekly data that supports environmental stewardship and long-term planning across the region.

Together, we are building a stronger, more informed future for our waterways and our communities.

🐟 Fish Consumption Safety – Know Before You Eat

We want to provide a trusted resource that supports informed, personal decision-making.

The Ontario Government’s Natural Resources Network provides detailed guidance on which fish are safe to eat, how often they can be consumed, and how this varies by species and location.

Use this Fish Consumption Guide to explore safety guidelines.
🗺️ Check the Interactive Advisory Map to view location-specific information on fish in your area.
