Trent University chancellor Tom Jackson launched his Dreamcatcher workshop series with a town hall-type meeting on water issues at the Camp Kawartha Environment Centre on Monday.

Jackson, who was sworn in as chancellor in September, urged the about 100 attendees to inform the public about water issues to help people push for change at the ballot box.

Peterborough Mayor Paul Ayotte, City of Kawartha Lakes Mayor Ric McGee, Otonabee Region Conservation Authority chairman and Asphodel-Norwood Deputy Reeve Terry Low, Greater Peterborough Innovation Cluster co-founder and CEO Jeremy Carver and Peterborough Health Coalition member Roy Brady were among the participants.
