Great Lakes Info Page

The Great Lakes are the largest system of fresh water on earth. They are home to 40 million Canadians and Americans, as well as countless species of plants and animals, including many migratory birds that use the Great Lakes to nest and breed.

Made up of five lakes (Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Superior and Lake Michigan), the Great Lakes are one of the world's most precious natural resources.

This website will give you a chance to explore our Great Lakes, and learn more about this incredible ecosystem.
