Per the MPOA member communication on Oct 12th, 2024, the MPOA asked the North Frontenac and Addington Highlands council to put together a meeting with the various levels of government (MPP J. Jordan, MPP R. Breese, MP S. Kramp-Newman, MP S. Reid as well as senior level representatives from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, the Department of Oceans and Fisheries, the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, and any other government body deemed appropriate) to get clarity on roles and responsibilities of the participating authorities in managing this invasive aquatic species.  

We are pleased to note that this was discussed at both the AH council on Oct 15th, and the NF council on Oct 25th and the two councils approved this ask and are working together to try to make this meeting happen.

We look forward to receiving a response from the upper levels of government and will update members accordingly.
