Huron - Kinloss

Environmental Initiatives

"The Township of Huron-Kinloss and its residents are very aware of how fragile the environment around us is. The Pine River Watershed Initiative Network, originally a committee of council but now on its own, actively supports and promotes good watershed management both by helping landowners get funding for environment projects and their labour. Our farming community is also greatly concerned with environmental issues and a high percentage of them have completed their Environmental Farm Plans.
In 2007 the township launched a septic inspection program to ensure the private sewer systems were being maintained properly and to educate owners / tenants on the proper use of these systems. Each year approximately 300 properties are inspected and most of the systems with major issues are corrected quickly."
