Created on

Record high Lake Huron water levels over the past few years have resulted in significant toe erosion and oversteepening of the shoreline bluffs.

These destabilizing conditions will likely lead to an increase in erosion through slope failures, slumping and gully erosion.

Disaster Recovery Assistance for Ontarians

Created on
