Many partners have made this plan possible. Partner groups include:
Belwood Lake Cottager’s Association, Belwood Lake Conservation Area,
Department of Fisheries & Oceans Canada (DFO), Friends of the Grand
River (FOGR), Grand Guides Co-Op, Grand River Conservation Authority
(GRCA), Izaak Walton Fly Fishing Club, Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources (MNR), Ontario Streams Township of Centre Wellington, Trout
Unlimited Canada (TU) and Wellington County Stewardship Council.
There were also numerous individuals who have dedicated their time and
contributed information and comments to the management of this fishery
and the development of the Grand River Tailwater Fisheries Management
Plan.
However, the most important acknowledgement is to the Grand River
which has inspired these partners to pitch in and make this Canadian
Heritage River a vital part of our community.
