Residents of the Great Lakes are divided by great physical and political distances. The Great Lakes drainage basin spans two provinces, eight states, and 37 million residents. These distances make it difficult for the citizens of the basin to recognize and act on their shared concern for the Lakes.
The Great Lakes Town Hall is designed to bridge those distances. Like the town meetings on which it is modeled, the Great Lakes Town Hall provides an online "space" where residents from all across the Great Lakes basin - and all walks of life within the basin - can come together to identify common concerns, set the political agenda, share and develop collective solutions, and demand - as a public - that the Lakes are clean, abundant, and natural for generations to come.
Most Web sites are designed to convey information selected by the site's owner. The Great Lakes Town Hall is different. In the Town Hall participants can respond to essays written by moderators and guest speakers, vote in the opinion polls, post questions and announcements, and start their own discussions.
