The Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement commits Canada and the United States to prepare and issue Lakewide Action and Management Plans (LAMPs) for each of the five Great Lakes every five years on a rotational basis. We are pleased to advise you that the Lake Ontario Partnership has begun to develop the next Lake Ontario LAMP, which is scheduled for completion in 2023.

At this time, we are offering interested organizations and individuals an opportunity to provide input to the plan at an early stage. Specifically, we welcome your perspective on the environmental conditions, issues, or concerns about Lake Ontario that should be considered, and any suggestions on actions or approaches for addressing them.

The 2023-2027 Lake Ontario LAMP will build upon the accomplishments of the 2018-2022 Lake Ontario LAMP. For reference the 2018-2022 Lake Ontario LAMP can be found here.

This is your first chance to participate in the development of the Lake Ontario LAMP, but not your last! A draft plan will be made available for comment later this year.

Please direct your suggestions or questions to the Lake Ontario Partnership using the Contact Us page by July 3, 2022.
