Did you know?
Moraines perform critical ecological and hydrological functions that are vital for the well-being of our environment and communities. These landforms provide habitat for wildlife, maintain wetlands, streams and rivers, decrease flooding and filter and store drinking water.The Paris Galt Moraine provides and purifies water at no costs to citizens. In a region destined for substantial growth, establishing the conservation act is an opportunity to address water management concerns in a fiscally responsible manner now before the situation becomes dire.
Failing to properly protect the moraine, and in turn preserve the region's source of fresh water, will lead to massive investments in infrastructure to provide water for the region. Furthermore, local business, farmers and industry depend upon this water for local jobs and prosperity.
