The Niagara Escarpment Foundation spearheads a collective of citizen groups to review regional water issues, and the work needed Greenbelt-wide to address these issues. The project aims to modernize the water policies of the Niagara Escarpment Plan, largely from the mid-1980s, in preparation for the Province’s review of the Greenbelt Plan in 2015.
