  5. Water -Public education on how runoff affects lakes -Address the issue of how connecting eavestroughs & sump pumps to sanitary sewers overloads the treatment plant & results in sewage going directly into Lake Nipissing -Install more water bottle filling stations to encourage reusable water containers -Do more to protect the city water intake in Delaney Bay from risks such as pipeline spills, truck and train accidents.

  6. NEW Vision for North Bay In an information-based economy, North Bay’s success depends on our ability to attract and retain creative people from all walks of life. Preserving wilderness, having healthy, beautiful surroundings and easy access to outdoor recreation are crucial tools in any 21st Century city’s toolbox of economic development.
