On Sunday April 28, 2019 AWARE Simcoe held its 2019 Annual General Meeting at the Elmvale Community Centre with a crowd of 100 people present.

Springwater Mayor Don Allen welcomed the crowd and introduced the guest speakers: Dr. John Cherry, hydrogeologist Vickie Monague, Beausoleil First Nation and Steffen Walma, Deputy Mayor of Tiny Township.
Dr. Cherry spoke on groundwater: What is groundwater? Where does it come from? Where does it go? What does it consist of?
Ms. Monague spoke of her activities to protect water locally and beyond since the Stop Site 41 campaign.
Deputy Mayor Walma discussed municipal responsibilities for protecting water.
A question and answer period followed.
