About the St. Clair River Area of Concern

The St. Clair River was designated as an Area of Concern (AOC) in 1987 under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement between Canada and the United States due to a lengthy history of urban and industrial development. For over 30 years, local and Indigenous communities, industry, conservation organizations and all levels of government have been working together to improve water quality and aquatic habitats in the St. Clair River through the implementation of a Remedial Action Plan (RAP), administered by the Canadian RAP Implementation Committee (CRIC). The ultimate goal of this plan is to restore the beneficial uses of the St. Clair River and remove it from the list of Great Lakes Areas of Concern.

Join Reach Canada for an educational session on the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) and the Canada Disability Savings Grant and Bond! 

The Government of Canada understands that long-term financial security is a real concern for people with disabilities and their families. For this reason, the Government introduced a first-of-its-kind savings program, the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), which helps families ensure that their loved ones with severe and prolonged disabilities can save for their future.

This session will cover the differences between the RDSP, Canada Disability Savings Grant and Bond, as well as what you and your loved ones need to know regarding eligibility and application processes. Additional information regarding the Canada Disability Savings Program can be found at www.canada.ca/RDSP.
