📍Location: Living with Lakes Centre (840 Ramsey Lake Rd, Greater Sudbury). Parking is limited so we encourage carpooling and sustainable modes of transportation – plus it’s good for the environment. You can get there on bus #3 or #4, and along the Ramsey Lake multi-use trail. If you are arranging carpooling, Smart Commute is one way to do that.
Join us to uncover the hidden threat of invasive species like Phragmites and learn how you can help protect our local ecosystems—together, we can make a difference! Enjoy snacks and refreshments while exploring outreach booths, presentations, and educational material about invasive species identification features, reporting sightings, management techniques and preventing the spread.

It will also provide an introduction of the Ontario Phragmites Action program highlighting the Ontario-wide program components, how to get involved and resources available. Presentations commence at 7:00pm and can be viewed in-person or online (see Zoom registration link to join online).
