The International Joint Commission (IJC) is an organization based in Washington, DC, with offices in Ottawa and Windsor, that plays a crucial role in managing and protecting the shared waters between Canada and the United States. With a mission rooted in the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, the IJC focuses on issues such as water levels and flows, water quality, air quality, and climate change activities. Through engagement with the public and indigenous communities, the IJC strives to ensure the sustainable management of transboundary waters and promote scientific research and collaboration. As an independent binational organization, the IJC consists of Canadian and US Commissioners who work together to address water-related challenges and provide guidance on uses, obstructions, or diversions of shared waters. With a rich history dating back to the origins of the Boundary Waters Treaty, the IJC has been instrumental in shaping policies and regulations that safeguard the health and integrity of the Great Lakes and other international watersheds. Through its publications, newsletters, and public consultations, the IJC keeps stakeholders informed about its ongoing projects and initiatives, fostering a spirit of cooperation and shared responsibility in the management of our precious water resources.Generated from the website
