The GRCF and the GRCA work together to identify priority projects that would otherwise not happen without the support of generous donations from the community. Some of our highest priority projects include:
New Guelph Lake Nature Centre - Nature At Your Doorstep!
After more than 30 years, the current Guelph Lake Nature Centre has seen better days. 600,000 students through the front doors of a former single family residence will do that though. It's time Guelph and Wellington County had an outdoor education facility that matched the quality of outdoor education programming the GRCA offers watershed students. The new centre will be relocated within Guelph Lake park and serve more than 200,000 visitors each year, but we need your help. Learn more...
Trails for A Whole Community at FWR Dickson Wilderness Area
Located between Cambridge and Paris, the trails at Dickson Wilderness Area have been an area favourite to enjoy a hike, feed the chickadees and enjoy beatiful scenery. The four-kilometer loop is available at no cost. After decades of enjoyment, the time has come to improve the trailway for all. Learn more...
Parkhill Dam Hydro Project
Did you know that almost half of the GRCA's operating budget is self-generated? The GRCA currently operates 3 hydro generation stations in the watershed. These are located in Shand, Guelph Lake, and Conestogo dams. The GRCA is proceeding on the installation of a fourth hydroelectric installation in Cambridge at Parkhill Dam. Discover more...
