Huron Kinloss Council has recognized Mayor Mitch Twolan's work to protect and restore the vitality of the great lakes.
Council awarded Twolan with a plaque to honour his work as chair of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative.
The Group offers a prominent voice to protect the quality of life for residents in the region.
Some of the highlights of Twolan's 2015-2016 term include attending the Climate Summit For Local Leaders in France in December.
He also was instrumental working with the agricultural sector to develop a water management strategy to reduce the flow of phosphorus off fields into water courses.
The group continues work to protect the lakes from the Asian carp, microbeads and pollution.
