Attention all lake residents of the Township of North Frontenac! The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters and Mississippi Valley Conservation are seeking your assistance in sampling for aquatic invasive species in the Mississippi Valley watershed. You are invited to join in our efforts against the spread of invasive species, such as zebra mussels, spiny water flea and rusty crayfish - three of the most prevalent invaders within our watershed.

There are a number of ways in which you can become involved in sampling for these organisms. First of all, if you would like to play a hands-on role in keeping our lakes healthy, you are invited to accompany O.F.A.H. and M.V.C. employees to your lake, at which time we will assist you in collecting the sample. You may also choose to conduct your sampling independently using invasive species sampling kits that can be delivered to you upon request. This would be a fun and educational activity to share with young family members. Finally, if you are unable to participate but would like to have a lake near you sampled, let us know and O.F.A.H and M.V.C. employees will conduct sampling at the requested lake. Staff are also available to give informative presentations and to distribute educational materials at your lake.

If you have any questions or would like to get involved in the Invasive Species Program this summer, please do not hesitate to contact Alana Sargeant (this year's summer student representative of the Invasive Species Awareness Program in the Mississippi Valley Watershed) via email (monitoring@mvc.on.ca) or through the Mississippi Valley Conservation Head Office from Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 4:00pm (613-259-2421). You can also refer to the invasive species official website at www.invadingspecies.com. Let's work together to Keep All Our Lakes Great!

"June is Seniors' Month, an opportunity for all Ontarians to recognize and value the contributions made by seniors every day in communities across the province.

Seniors' Month is an annual celebratory tradition in which the contributions of seniors are acknowledged and honoured throughout the province. Ontario's population aged 65 and over is projected to more than double from 1.8 million, or 13.7 per cent of the population in 2009 to 4.1 million, or 23.2 per cent, in 2036. The growth in seniors' share of the population will accelerate after 2011 as baby boomers begin to turn age 65. Seniors' Month events include award ceremonies, recognition events, socials and seniors' information fairs.

Ontario is one of the best places in the world to grow older. Ontarians across the province are encouraged to join in the celebrations taking place in their local community to recognize and thank older Ontarians who have worked hard and continue to contribute to the prosperity that we all enjoy today."
