About this grant
Ontario has nearly 3,000 miles of Great Lakes shoreline — more than any single state in the United States. Based in Toronto, Environmental Defence is a national environmental organization with a demonstrated commitment to protecting the Great Lakes. With previous Mott support, the grantee informed the development and implementation of the U.S.-Canada Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, conducted research and analyses to strengthen Ontario’s water policies, built public support for Great Lakes issues, and took measures to strengthen its internal operations. With renewed Mott support, the grantee will continue these efforts in partnership with nonprofit, private, and public partners in Ontario.
