This morning I spoke with Greg Mason, Planner for the Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring program for the Township of The Archipelago in Parry Sound. Greg said they had a good workshop on Saturday, with a turnout of 18 people. Dr. Karl Schiefer was there to answer questions, and discuss the program and water quality in general. I let Greg know that my mom and I would be assuming Pop's water testing duties for the time being, and he offered to meet with me when I get to Parry Sound to review the new bacterial monitoring protocol that will be implemented for this year's tests. Greg also just sent me the electronic version of the Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring Program Data Report for 2005, which will be posted on the South Channel website later today.
