A report commissioned by the city of Barrie exposed deterioration of shoreline habitat in Kempenfelt Bay. The city, Rotary's new Environmental Committee and the Ministry of Natural Resources created a functional habitat restoration project. Two large barrier islands were built to create a sheltered lagoon for fish, waterfowl and amphibians to live. Hundreds of shrubs and plants were planted to enhance the natural health of the habitat for the wildlife.
