Great Lakes Day in Washington

Great Lakes Day is an annual event hosted by the Great Lakes Commission and its partners to convey a unified message expressing the Great Lakes region’s priorities for legislation and appropriations to assist in protecting the Great Lakes region’s environment and sustaining our economy. Last year, the Commission, in partnership with the Northeast Midwest Institute, the Council of Great Lakes Governors, the Healing Our Waters Coalition, the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, the Mayors of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Cities Initiative and tribal representatives brought more than 150 people from the region to Washington. Last year’s event featured an evening reception hosted at the Canadian Embassy, a Congressional Breakfast on Capitol Hill, a legislative hearing on invasive species, a media event and visits to nearly 100 Congressional offices.
