Midland town dock

Come and join us for the cheque award ceremony at the first ever RBC Blue Water Day. RBC continues its support of the GBF Watershed Protection -- Wetlands project.

Great news!
 
We're very happy to announce that the 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.

Join us on the Midland town dock Friday, June 11th at 11:15am for the ceremony and giant cheque award celebration of the first RBC® Blue Water Day­™. We will have a number of our donors, volunteers and staff (and hopefully you) on hand to accept this generous support.
 
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.
