“Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality” – Comment
On behalf of Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, Fraser Riverkeeper, and Ottawa Riverkeeper, please see our comment regarding Health Canada’s draft Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality, Third Edition, prepared by the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Working Group on Recreational Water Quality of the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Committee on Health and the Environment, dated September 2009.
These three Canadian Waterkeepers are independent, federally registered charitable organizations working to restore and protect swimmable, drinkable, fishable water for every community in our watersheds. Over the years, we have had many opportunities to observe, monitor, and offer advice regarding water quality and beach postings in our communities. We have also reviewed the document for public comment in its entirety. Our comments and recommendations are based on this experience.
