Did you know that over-application of winter road salt has led to a 500% increase in chloride levels in Lake Simcoe since the 1970s? This can harm the environment and drinking water supplies impacting every one of us.

But there is some good news – collectively we can change for the better! Studies show that businesses and municipalities adopting best practices and training makes a big difference. By using treated salt or liquids we can cut winter salt use in half while still ensuring public safety.
