Today, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, announced that the Government of Canada will invest $1 million in six new projects to directly address water-quality issues in two priority ecosystems in Atlantic Canada: the Saint John River watershed and the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence watershed. These projects are being funded through the Atlantic Ecosystems Initiatives funding program, which aims to improve the health, productivity, and sustainability of ecosystems in Atlantic Canada. The projects will invest in clean-water initiatives, which will protect Canada’s environment from harmful pollutants such as plastics. They will be undertaken by:
In 2018, the Atlantic Ecosystems Initiatives introduced a new model to concentrate funding on priority areas in Atlantic Canada. For the past two years, the funding program has supported projects that conserve and protect the Saint John River watershed and the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence watershed. More than $2 million in project funding has led to improved ecosystem knowledge, the restoration and enhancement of degraded shorelines, improved water-quality monitoring, and increased knowledge of the impacts of microplastic pollution. Moving forward, the Government of Canada will continue to protect and improve Canada’s water quality. As part of this work, the Government will soon launch consultations on the creation of the Canada Water Agency, which will work with provinces, territories, Indigenous communities, local authorities, and scientists to keep our water safe, clean, and well managed.
