Toward Safe Harbours Reports

Since 1994, our Monitoring Committee has authored BARC’s “Toward Safe Harbours” reports, highlighting the Remedial Action Plan’s implementation, successes and setbacks. BARC works as a watchdog organization for Hamilton Harbour revitalization efforts and produces the reports as an objective appraisal of the status of various themes of remedial action.

The Monitoring Committee is currently working in its "Toward Safe Harbours" 2012 report, which will take the form of a report card.  This will be an update to the report cards produced in 2002 and 2007. 

The 2012 "Toward Safe Harbours" Report Card is being generously funded by:
