A Clear Mission

Georgian Bay Forever is a voluntary community response to the growing need for major research and education projects to sustain the Georgian Bay aquatic ecosystem and the quality of life its communities and visitors enjoy.

We help monitor the Bay's well being, throughout the seasons, year after year.

We fund the research needed to protect the environmental health of Georgian Bay and the surrounding bodies of water. Using our research findings, we inform and educate the general public and governments about any threats to environmental health and propose possible solutions.

Through conferences, workshops and seminars we are educating the Georgian Bay community. By teaming up with reputable institutions we enhance the credibility of our research and we strengthen our ability to protect what's at stake.

Georgian Bay Forever, formerly the GBA Foundation, is a registered Canadian charity (#89531 1066 RR0001). We work with the Great Lakes Basin Conservancy in the United States, as well as other stakeholder groups all around the Great Lakes.

"What is Georgian Bay without clean water? Will notices of toxic blue green algal blooms that prevent use of the water for any use extend to more shorelines? With its charitable status, Georgian Bay Forever can use your dollars more effectively to fund the independent expert research projects needed to fully identify sources of pollution and point to solutions."
- Peter Kelk, Twelve Mile Bay

"The challenges facing the southern Bay will reach us soon - as access to northern regions improves. By helping GBF find solutions now, we all benefit."
- Hugh McLelland, Bay of Islands
