Healthy Streams for a Living Island
Manitoulin Streams Improvement Association is a grass roots, not-for -profit, registered charity that is focused on large-scale, community based efforts to rehabilitate aquatic ecosystems on Manitoulin Island. We bring communities together to achieve our goals via joint private and public driven initiatives. Our efforts rehabilitate and enhance water quality and the fisheries resource on Manitoulin Island and in Lake Huron.
Manitoulin Island is the largest freshwater island in the world and is widely referred to as “the heart” of the Great Lakes. It contains 108 freshwater inland lakes, many of which in conjunction with its cold water springs, feed into Lake Huron, making it an extremely important spawning and rearing area for many species of salmon and trout.
Manitoulin Streams respectfully acknowledges that we are located on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe peoples, including the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi Nations. Manitoulin Island is home to unceded Anishinaabe lands, including Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory.
As an organization dedicated to the protection of water, we honour the Anishinaabe understanding of water as sacred and life-giving, and we strive to protect these waters with respect, humility, and responsibility to the next seven generations.
