Great Lakes Community Monitoring Program- Kingston Hub

About

We are an organisation called Swim Drink Fish Canada. We support people who restore swimmable, drinkable, fishable water in Canada and around the world. Our teammates are the creators and leaders of Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, Swim Guide, and the Watermark Project. These programs have over 1 million users. We work with other organisations and individuals to help restore water that you can swim in, drink from, and fish from.

The Kingston hub opened in 2020. We currently sample at three sites in the Kingston area.

Water testing protocol

We test primarily for the presence of E. coli. with the use of the IDEXX system. We also take water temperature, depth of clarity, Dissolved Oxygen, Conductivity, pH, Alkalinity, Hardness, and Chlorine.
