The Global Water Futures project, Lake Futures, uses webinars and other strategies to share the results of its research program and facilitate an open dialogue with its partners and stakeholders.
Steering committee webinar series (2021)
The Lake Futures project is guided, in part, by the expertise of a knowledgeable steering committee. In this new webinar series, participants will get a chance to hear from these experts as we explore the programs and initiatives, they are delivering to address eutrophication in the Great Lakes. Through discussion, we will investigate opportunities to collaborate and work together.
Research webinar series (2020)
In July 2020, Lake Futures hosted a webinar series that summarized some of the early research findings from the project. This series offered an opportunity to engage with Lake Futures researchers and discuss implications for water policies, programs, and plans in Ontario. Webinar recordings and one-page summaries can be found on the Lake Futures website.
