Lake of the Woods Water Quality Study

A new water quality project is being launched for Lake of the Woods.

A number of First Nations communities around the lake are working together on the project.

Spokesperson Ryan Haines says they're now trying to secure the necessary funding.

"Funding from Lake of the Woods Sustainability Foundation would roll out this fall," says Haines. "This coming winter would be spent looking at existing water quality data, looking at aerial and satellite photos identifying high priority areas."

Haines says also they're hoping to secure funding from municipal and federal sources.
