About Me

Lake Ontario Waterkeeper (Waterkeeper) is an environmental justice organization committed to advocating clean water and strong communities around Lake Ontario. We are working diligently to win back Lake Ontario, to restore our watershed's natural assets and to ensure that every community has equal access to natural justice.

We conduct academic, legal, and field research. We aid communities struggling to use environmental laws to protct their rights. We mentor law students, using our Clean Water Workshop, informing their justice work. And, we educate the public about threats to clean water and opportunities to make wise, informed decisions for the future.
