The largest lake in the world now has its own day of recognition!

Celebrate Lake Superior on Lake Superior Day, July 17, 2005, by hosting an 
event in your town, community, business, club, youth group, or organization.

The Lake Superior Binational Forum is promoting this basin-wide event to 
highlight the personal, environmental, economic, and spiritual connections 
people have to this unique world treasure.

Join the festivities by organizing an activity or event in your community: 
pass a proclamation designating the third Sunday in July as Lake Superior 
Day (sample text is available); host an educational activity, photography or 
writing contests, boating or fishing festivals, art shows, personal actions, 
or other celebrations. This event will be held annually on the third Sunday 
in July.

Go to the Forum's website for ideas about how to celebrate the day in your 
area: www.superiorforum.info. (The site is being updated regularly and will 
be operational soon.)

For more information, email the Forum at lakesuperiorday@northland.edu.

The Forum is housed in the United States at the Sigurd Olson Environmental 
Institute at Northland College in Ashland, WI, and in Canada at Lakehead 
University in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The Forum is funded in the US by a grant 
from the US Environmental Protection Agency's Great Lakes National Program 
Office and in Canada by Environment Canada.
