Winter Road Salts Workshop
Road salts are heavily used to manage snow and ice in our urban areas. They have traditionally been a primary tool to keep our roads, sidewalks, and other paved surfaces safe for winter travel! But there is growing concern about the rising chloride levels in watersheds.
Join us at the Ajax Public Library and learn about chloride levels in waterways across the Greater Toronto Area and their impacts on the natural environment. We’ll share what is being done to reduce road salt applications and provide tips to help on your own property! Participants will have a chance to win winter road safety kits!
This presentation is intended for a General Audience:
- Beginner level information
- Includes intermediate concepts
- Content intended for adults
If cancellation occurs, participants will be notified at least 2 hours before the event.
