The Lake Superior Binational Forum celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and will hold a public meeting in Grand Marais on Sept. 9 to mark the occasion. The 1 p.m. meeting is free, and there is no need to pre-register.
The Forum wants to hear from Grand Marais residents and visitors about what they are doing, need, or want to do to protect water quality, ecosystems, and quality of life on the North Shore. A full agenda for this public meeting will be posted soon on the Forum’s web site at www.superiorforum.org.
The Binational Forum holds four meetings a year in host communities around the basin in the U.S. and Canada to hear public comments about issues related to Lake Superior. These meetings allow the Forum to learn what issues people are concerned about. The Forum also brings in speakers to inform communities about the Lake Superior Lakewide Management Plan and successful regional practices taking place that help meet management plan goals.
Because the Forum only meets a few times per year, it’s been 12 years since the group was last in Grand Marais.
