Many SSEA programs will be on display including:

• watershed resilience and stewardship
• Drinking Water Source Protection

“This Open House is a celebration of the incredible work being done in our region and a chance to connect with the community that makes it all possible,” says SSEA Vice Chair, Councillor Suzanne Marchand. “We’re excited to share our progress and invite everyone to be a part of the journey toward a healthier Severn Sound.”
