The federal and provincial governments are providing $2.5 million for the projects.
“Farmers in Ontario have been and continue to be stewards of the land. We want to continue to make a positive impact on the environment, the economy and our communities,” said Jan VanderHout, member of Environmental Collaboration Ontario (EcoAg).
“Partnership programs like LEADS are important tools for achieving innovative and effective environmental outcomes.”
LEADS supports the Canada-Ontario Lake Erie Action Plan and aligns with the Made-in- Ontario Environment Plan, committing to a 40 per cent reduction of phosphorus run off into Lake Erie and its watershed.
Since June 2018, both the federal and provincial governments have committed cost-share support to more than 2,500 projects through the Partnership.
