Kelli is one of the Canadian representatives on this committee, whose role with the Lake of the Woods District
Property Owners Association is to aid in the development and implementation of their environmental programs
and to establish partnerships in Canada and with the U.S. on watershed-related issues. The Water Resources
Centre is meant to be an international endeavor and representation from Canada, therefore, is key.
The Lake of the Woods District Property Owners Association has a long history of promoting research and good
environmental practices within the Lake of the Woods watershed.

Andrew is as an Environmental Scientist with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. The Inland Lakes
Group (ILG) has been actively involved in water quality monitoring and research in the Lake of the Woods Basin
over the past several years. The ILG recognizes that defensible science and education initiatives will
be required to address water quality issues in the Rainy River and Lake of the Woods basins. In boundary
waters, these goals can only be achieved through international partnership. This is the model proposed by
the Water Resources Centre.
