Watershed council members accept a big cheque from Environment and Parks Minister Shannon Phillips and Lesser Slave MLA Danielle Larivee (front row, third and fourth from the left). Otherwise, from the left, are LSLWC members Tony McWhannel, Jule Asterisk, Brian Rosche, Meghan Payne (executive director) and Brad Pearson.
The effort to protect lakes and streams in the Lesser Slave Lake area got a bit of help last week in the form of a $37,480 provincial government grant to the Lesser Slave Lake Watershed Council (LSLWC).
It’s from the government’s Watershed Resiliency and Restoration Program.
Presenting the cheque was Minister of Environment and Parks, Shannon Phillips.
“The work done by the LSLWC will help ensure that a healthy watershed can act as an effective first line of defence against severe weather events,” said Phillips in a release issue at the same time.
Said LSLWC Executive Director Meghan Payne: “The council and our partners will be able to make tangible improvements to riparian areas and wetlands in our watershed that will showcase best management practices and promote land and watershed stewardship.”
