IISD Experimental Lakes Area (IISD-ELA) was pleased to welcome Premier of Ontario Kathleen Wynne and her partner Jane Rounthwaite for a visit on August 30, 2015.
The Premier and her partner took the time out of a personal vacation to visit IISD-ELA. The Premier witnessed the unique and interactive research that takes place at this world-class facility.
While here, the Premier and Ms. Rounthwaite met students from Lakehead University who were on a field course, learned how to control lake outflow, used a seine, tried their hands at titration and took in the beauty of the facility.
