PEOPLE ARE FED UP!
As we build awareness of our efforts to save the walleye in the Kawartha Lakes, we’ve received photos from concerned citizens. They draw a sad picture! It’s time the Ministers see our pictures because the bureaucrats under them aren’t providing accurate accounts of what is going on here: bad fisheries management in Zone 17 (MNRF), and destructive water management (TSW) that’s killing life under the waterline and putting the ecosystem last.
