Terry Rees gets honour
January 2012:
FOCA is very proud to announce that Terry Rees, FOCA’s Executive Director, has been honoured by Water Canada magazine:
Terry was selected as a person representing Canadian water excellence and who is making a difference, in the 2nd-annual instalment of Water’s Next. The notice begins: "Terry Rees’ environmental credentials match up favourably with just about anyone this side of David Suzuki."
“I thank Terry for his work in protecting our precious lakes,” says Wolfgang Scheider, Manager of the Water Monitoring Section, Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE). Scheider continues: “As a partner with FOCA in the delivery of the Lake Partner Program for over a decade, the Ministry is pleased that Terry has been recognized for his long-term commitment to actively support public engagement and the continued role of science in building a better understanding of water quality across Ontario.” To learn more about FOCA Programs, including the Lake Partner Program, click here.
