Donation to conservation foundation

Apr 21, 2005


The Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation got a $1,000 donation last week thanks to the Canadian Ice Fishing Championship.

Championship organizer Rocky Madsen presented a cheque to foundation members Alan Wells, Ernie Crossland, George Connell, Kimberley MacKenzie and Brian Kemp at the head office of the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority.

The funds were raised during the two-day championship. The donation will go toward the foundation's efforts to restore the health of Lake Simcoe, which is under huge ecological pressure, Mr. Wells said.

"This is a much needed cause to ensure the quality of Lake Simcoe remains for people to enjoy and fish populations to prosper," he said.
