Great Lakes Week: Detroit 2011

Beautiful Lake St. Clair

October 11-14 — Working Together, Taking Action

The Great Lakes are among the world’s true natural wonders. They provide jobs, recreation and drinking water to more than 30 million people in the Great Lakes basin. Great Lakes Week represents a new partnership to improve the places around the basin where people live, work, learn and play.

The week’s activities will bring representatives of the U.S. and Canadian governments together with a broad coalition of public and private groups to highlight efforts to implement solutions for the lakes’ most pressing problems. Great Lakes Week also gathers the annual meetings and conferences of various organizations in one place, making it one of the most wide-ranging Great Lakes summits in history.
