Love the down time on the River after spending whole day on phone and in meetings. Biggest public parks in Canada are the rivers, lakes and oceans that surround us. @swimdrinkfish

Great day working on Island. The weather is cool, colour of river changing to turquoise, frogs hopping along shore, feeling lucky under our horseshoe front door. @swimdrinkfish

Here is the story of Steven Brophy’s escape from Fort Henry. Quizzical that the Brophy’s ended up on Brophy’s Point Wolfe Island just across river from Fort Henry. Although don’t believe Steven ever returned. Joined Wild Bill’s circus.

Fort Henry sits above Kingston, Lake Ontario and Cataraqui River - built to protect our border over 200 years ago. One of my Brophy relatives was one of the few to escape its walls.

Water is a part of who we are. It shapes Canada & our culture for good & for bad. Waters polluted by untreated sewage & harmful pollutants hurt communities. Swimmable drinkable fishable water breaths life into communities. Support Canada by keeping water clean. @swimdrinkfish

After Toronto sewage bypasses & combined sewer overflows occur due to insuffient capacity for treating city sewage, beaches start posting No Swimming signs. Keeping harmful pollutants out of our water is good for swimmers, fish & drinking water. @swimdrinkfish

Protecting water for fish like trout, salmon & bass is good for swimmers. Protecting water for swimming is good for fish. 2/3 of Canadians swim or fish at least once a year. Let’s work together to restore swimmable fishable water for all. @swimdrinkfish ⁦⁦@Waterkeeper
