Task Force Releases Interim Report


A Task Force looking at the management of Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake has released an interim report.

Canadian Secretary Kelli Saunders says the group, formed by the International Joint Commission, is putting forward some ideas gathered from the first six months of its work.

"(It includes) some of our initial thoughts on governance structures that might work for this watershed which is our ultimate goal," says Saunders. "(It's) to start getting some feedback from people before we get to the end of our mandate."

Saunders says a series of public meetings to discuss the report will be held in early April.
