The Canada-Ontario Agreement on Great Lakes Water Quality and Ecosystem Health is the federal-provincial agreement that supports the restoration and protection of the Great Lakes basin ecosystem. The Agreement outlines how the governments of Canada and Ontario will cooperate and coordinate their efforts to restore, protect and conserve the Great Lakes basin ecosystem. It is the means by which Canadian federal departments interact with the Ontario provincial ministries to help meet Canada’s obligations under the Canada-US Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA).
On May 27, 2021, the governments of Canada and Ontario renewed their commitment to restore, protect and conserve the Great Lakes by signing the Canada-Ontario Agreement on Great Lakes Water Quality and Ecosystem Health (COA), 2021. Read more

Guidance on the Use of Targeted Environmental DNA (eDNA) Analysis for the Management of Aquatic Invasive Species and Species at Risk
By Cathryn Abbott, Mark Coulson, Nellie Gagné, Anaïs Lacoursière‐Roussel, Geneviève J. Parent, Robert Bajno, Charise Dietrich and Shannan May-McNally.
Analysis of DNA from environmental samples (i.e., environmental DNA or eDNA) is increasingly being used as a non-intrusive, sensitive, and often cost-effective biological monitoring approach, either on its own or to complement other methods. Due to the numerous promising applications of eDNA, there has been significant recent growth in eDNA research and development; however, the complexity and rapid evolution of related methodologies has created challenges for resource managers when deciding how to apply eDNA technologies to inform decision making.

Registration Now Open for Canada Water Agency National and Regional Freshwater Policy Forums
The Government of Canada is creating a new Canada Water Agency to work together with the provinces, territories, Indigenous communities, local authorities, scientists and others to find the best ways to keep our water safe, clean and well-managed. In December 2020, the Canada Water Agency discussion paper, Toward the Creation of a Canada Water Agency, was released. It presents key issues for consideration in the Government of Canada’s approach to creating a Canada Water Agency.
