Residents to draft letter to IJC on low water levels

Residents to draft letter to IJC on low water levels

A joint letter from meeting participants, and putting sustained pressure on the International Joint Commission (IJC) to have it address low water levels in Lake St. Lawrence. Those were two of the approaches bandied about earlier this week at an Impacts to Lake St. Lawrence meeting held at South Stormont council chambers in Long Sault. “We need to sustain pressure,” said Frank Hummel, representing the Moulinette Island Residents’ Association at the gathering. “One letter may move (the IJC) but I doubt it. We need to map out a plan for (the rest of) 2022, 2023, and 2024. How are we going to keep our voice in the backside of the IJC?”
