Our Great Lakes

IT'S A FACT!

• The Great Lakes hold one-fifth of the world's surface fresh water.
• The Great Lakes support multi-billion dollar tourism and fishing industries and are the centre of North America's prosperous industrial and agricultural heartland.
• Although part of the same system, each of the five Great Lakes is different.
• Two countries, two Canadian provinces, eight American states and hundreds of municipalities are all directly concerned with the Great Lakes. Cooperation is a must.
• If you could take all the water from the Great Lakes and spread it evenly over Canada, it would be about one metre (three feet) high.

WOW!!!
