The Lake Simcoe Protection Plan was established for Lake Simcoe and its surrounding watersheds (which include portions of 23 municipalities) to improve the water quality of the lake and protect it from further pollution. The Plan includes requirements to manage phosphorus, conduct stormwater master planning, restrict the use of live bait, and establish clear shoreline protection zones.
