Great day!
The weather was perfect and so was the $100,000 support we received from RBC as we were met by executives and staff from Barrie and Midland on the Midland town dock Friday, June 11th at 11:30am for the award ceremony for the first RBC® Blue Water Day­™. We had a number of our supporters, directors, volunteers and staff on hand to accept this generous support.


RBC Foundation has once again shown its strong commitment to protecting fresh water through its support of our GBF Watershed Protection -- Wetland Project this year. This support has been instrumental in enabling our research, public education and stewardship of the high quality wetlands found along the coast of Georgian Bay.

The RBC® Blue Water Project™ is an innovative, wide-ranging, global commitment to help protect the world's most precious natural resource: fresh water. RBC offers grants to not-for-profit organizations that protect watersheds and provide or ensure access to clean drinking water. Since 2007, RBC has committed more than $20 million to over 200 organizations worldwide working in this area.
 
Georgian Bay Forever has been working with local communities to protect, enhance and restore the aquatic ecosystems of Georgian Bay since its founding in 1995.
