The I lealthy I leadwaters Wetlands Initiative was the recipi-
ent of the RBC Blue Water Project Leadership Grant on June
10th. The $100,000 grant to Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Authority (ABCA) will be used towards the wetlands project
to restore and enhance important wetlands, which will ben-
efit the water quality and quantity in Huron and Middlesex
counties.
"the Foundation works to raise funds to finance projects
that are designed to conserve and protect natural landscapes
in the Ausable River and Bayfield River. We rely on donations
to carryout these projects that will benefit our children, our
grandchildren, and future generations," said Ernie Miatello,
Ausable Bayfield Conservation Foundation Chair.
The grant will provide money towards staff time to design
and materials to construct the wetlands.
Laura Gainey, RBC Regional President for Ontario South
was on hand to deliver the cheque at McNaughton Park in
Exeter.
"At RBC, we believe that virtually everything has to do with
water because water is really fundamental to the sustainabil-
ity to all life on our planet and of lack of clean, fresh water is
considered to be one of the major threats to human health
and economic development across the world," she said.
More than 20 RBC staff members were on hand to deliver

the cheque and participate with approx-
imately 25 children in the Ausable River
who were looking for bugs and fish at
the bottom of the creek.
"The community will put the money
to good use. RBC wants to assist in wet-
lands and water quality and quantity so
future generations can have cleaner and
better water," Gainey said.
The grant will also provide technical
and financial support for landowners to
enhance and restore wetlands as well as
offer education for students.
"Restoring wetlands in this part of
Ontario is one of the greatest environ-
mental improvements," said Miatello.
RBC Foundation is making it possible
for more landowners to undertake these
important projects"
Mari Veliz, Healthy Watersheds Coor-
dinator with ABCA explained that the
money will fulfill their mission for

cleaner water.
"There was more wetlands in Huron
County, but with more land use, we
don't have as much wetlands," she
explained. "Wetlands are important in
purifying water, holding back water and
erosion problems"
The grant will be able to allow ABCA
to work within the community to
enhance the local community, Veliz
stated.
"It seems like a lot of money, but a lot
of work will be needed," she said.
Jim Ginn, ABCA Board of Directors
was present to thank RBC for the grant.
"1 am very impressed with this gener-
ous donation. Water is the most valua-
ble resource and the money will go
towards technical studies. Wetlands are
important to water quality and quantity
and it is the habitat for 600 plants and
animals."
The Healthy Ileadwaters Initiative is a
local project, which works with land-
owners in Iluron and Middlesex coun-
ties to restore and enhance wetlands. So
far, 332 acres of wetlands and trees have
been restored through participation of
local landowners over the past threl1
years. The RBC Blue Water Project is a
10 -year, $50 million global commitment
to project freshwater.
"We are lucky to have world class
organizations like Ausable Bayfield Con-
servation Authority who are committed
to environmental stewardship. The work
that you do really is amazing and that's
why we are so please to announce this
$100,000 donation," said Gainey. "We
really applaud your efforts and it's
through your hard work and your dedi-
cation that future generations of Cana-
dians will be able to ensure a cleaner,
more sustainable world in the future:'
