Designing service-learning courses for Trent University students can help them to gain valuable field skills that many environmental sector employers are looking for, in today's job market. There are many environmental monitoring protocols that could be learned and executed by students, toward a credit at Trent, while also helping communities that have specific environmental monitoring needs gather specific baseline data sets. Many of the necessary monitoring protocols would be suitable for an environmental monitoring fieldwork service-learning course for Trent students. At the same time, students could also assist community organizations by helping them to start their own monitoring or citizen science programs.

The Conference Centre was developed prior to new shoreline ordinances which require a 30m setback on lake-side properties. The combination of near shore development, variable water-levels on Kushog Lake, and naturally thin soils along the rocky shoreline have enabled areas of concerning erosion along the 300m natural shoreline of the Windy Pine Property (Trent University, n.d.). Other possible causes of shoreline erosion may include wave washing and ice movement (MNRF et al , 2011). A previous shoreline inventory was conducted in 2014 through the “Love Your Lake” program.

"Municipality of Dysart et al Plastic Reduction Challenge","Fleming College Sustainability Waste Management Program","Municipality of Dysart et al., Tamara Wilbee",,"FL_4829 ",2019,Online,,,,"Banning of single use PET water bottles has become a growing trend across Canada (Jerema, 2010). There are several reasons as to why this trend has continued to grow, with the bulk of them surrounding the environmental impacts of the PET bottle. The utilization of single-use plastic water bottles is not a sustainable option as it can lead to water shortages since the manufacturing process for a single 1L bottle of water consumes 3-5L of water (The Council of Canadians, 2014). Furthermore, the manufacturing and transportation of single-use PET water bottles is significantly contributing to climate change as they require a massive amount of fossil fuel to produce the plastic and generate significant greenhouse gas emissions to transport (The Council of Canadians, 2014). Another issue associated with single-use plastic bottles and why banning their sales is becoming more significant is that a large number are ending up in landfills, which is resulting in a loss of landfill spaces as well as the loss of the resources that have gone into the production process (The Council of Canadians, 2014). Through the implementation of a ban of single-use water bottle sales in municipal spaces, the municipality can improve their ecological footprint and ultimately become one of the Blue Communities in Canada (The Council of Canadians, 2014) should they desire to take this step.
The objective of this report is to provide information to support the Municipality of Dysart et al’s desire to ban the sale of plastic-bottled water in its municipal buildings and public spaces along with the provision of suitable alternatives and appropriate communication, education and engagement to ensure the public is aware of and adopts the use of these alternatives.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"affiliated with Dysart Et Al,environment,Fleming,landfills,Municipality of Dysart et al,Phil Jensen,plastic,plastic reduction,recycling,Sustainable Waste Management,water,water bottles",https://database.ulinks.ca/files/original/408380d0ed5d549ab1103d26b727cb8c.pdf,,"Fleming College - Community-Based Research",1,1

Water Science",,"The Trent-Severn Waterway, hereby referred to as TSW, is an expanse of freshwater, traveling 386km from Trenton, south central Ontario to Port Severn, which is located on Georgian Bay (Parks Canada 2007). It is commonly used for navigation by boats and for many other water-related recreational activities all year round. One portion of this complex system is the Gull River watershed, part of which consists of Gull Lake, located in Minden, Ontario. Gull Lake is a reservoir lake, meaning simply that it receives water from other lakes and other sources such as spring runoff (Parks Canada 2007). It is used recreationally by many people, and consists of a healthy population of cottagers. Two dams flow into Gull Lake. They are Little Bob, running in from Bob Lake, and Workman Falls Dam, which according to a TSW official, does not have a significant effect on the water levels of Gull Lake. Water runs out of Gull Lake via two other dams. With one situated on either side of Highway 35, they are known as dams 1 and 2, and they both flow out at Moores Falls. In recent years however, residents of Gull Lake have noticed extreme fluctuations in its water levels. This has raised concern regarding their shoreline environment. Specifically, each spring, periods of extreme declines in the water levels, to the point where their beaches become dry, are becoming increasingly frequent. The purpose of this report is to examine what factors are most likely to be causing the observed water level fluctuations, and with this information, the goal is to determine the best measures to take to prevent further shoreline damage, or any other predicted issues linked to water level concern.

These include the lakes and tributaries flowing into the Gull and Burnt Rivers, and Eels Brook.
Beginning with a look at native groups within these systems and their use of lakes and rivers for hunting and transportation along with their sense of land stewardship, the paper moves on to the early exploration of the waterways by Europeans as they sought a practical military route between Georgian Bay and Ottawa. With the development of colonization roads, settlement moved forward. The importance of the waterways to the logging industry, which followed, is documented.
