Waring’s Creek Improvement Association (WCIA) is a community-based group of citizens, mainly residents of Prince Edward County, who are engaged in the rehabilitation and preservation of Waring’s Creek. Waring’s Creek is a typical, southern Ontario sandplain stream, with low flows and relatively high nutrient levels, capable of supporting eastern brook trout populations. Waring’s Creek drains its watershed into West Lake, a small body of water formed when the Sandbanks, one of the outstanding freshwater shoreline features of eastern North America, surrounded and captured several acres of Lake Ontario.
