    Black Creek footbridge from Shagbark Lane (Downstream) by Robin Cupolo

  • 24 February 2026

    Black Oaks Heritage Park (Windsor) by Isabelle Kolodziej

    Ice "on" at/near shore only. Bottom, where the sample was taken, was visible from my vantage point. The water was sampled about 2m from where I was standing. I was able to stand about 3 m from the "normal" shoreline due to the lower water levels (and ice).

  • 23 February 2026

    Windsor by Isabelle Kolodziej

    Ice was on from the shore to about 100m-ish out. The ice broke to expose water too far from the shore, therefore, a water sample could not be collected.

  • 23 February 2026

    Confederation Beach Park by Simaran Kaur

    Ice all melted. A lot more waves than usual.

Concerns
Through this program, citizen scientists play a vital role in collecting data for baseline water chemistry and on key contaminants, including PFAS, nutrients, and chloride (road salts) for the Lake Erie basin. By addressing critical gaps in regional water quality data, the project supports innovative pilot programs to develop and refine new monitoring methods.
Intended audience
Our community, Government and decision makers
Intended use
Benchmarking of water body or watershed health, Share and compare results across watersheds., Education and engagement of local communities, Use in resource prioritization and decision making
