23 3.2 Over-arching Actions...continued Monitoring and Reporting The Detroit River as a Canadian Heritage River • Develop a Detroit River checklist and implementation schedule for monitoring the progress of River management actions, the implementation of the Management Strategy and the state of the River’s human heritage, recreational and natural heritage values. Review of this checklist on an annual basis will be one of the primary responsibilities of the Detroit River Council. • Monitor the progress of the Management Strategy every 10 years and present the results to the Canadian Heritage Rivers Board. Community Involvement • Coordinate meetings with key Detroit River stakeholders and hold workshops to stimulate the development of local and international partnerships among governments including First Nations, agencies, private businesses and interest groups to develop and implement action plans and specific actions for the good of the Detroit River. Promotion and Celebration • Establish a newsletter and maintain a Detroit River website to communicate information regarding local and international activities, events and programs which promote CHRS values, and facts about the Detroit River’s natural environment, history and recreational opportunities. • Install signage along the Detroit River and at key locations within both Canadian and American watersheds promoting CHRS and AHRI designation of the River and identifying significant heritage values. • Explore the establishment of a Detroit River Day, possibly a part of the International Freedom Festival, and other events to celebrate and promote the human heritage, natural heritage and recreational values of the Detroit River and its watershed, river-related achievements, and environmental clean-up activities. • Encourage the development of Detroit River heritage value based educational programs and materials for elementary, secondary, community college and university curricula. Recognition • Develop a Registry of Actions to recognize, document and monitor new and existing river-related actions undertaken by stakeholders on both sides of the Detroit River. This Registry will be updated regularly and made available to the public in print form and on the Detroit River website. Management Strategy
