Harry Lumsden and Ray Kingdon proudly display one of the Trumpeter Swan signs that have been erected in the Callander Bay area with grant money from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.Photo: Bev Kingdon The Ontario Trillium Foundation, an agency of the Ministry of Culture, receives annually $100 million of government funding generated through Ontario's charity casino initiative. In 2003, the Lake Nipissing Partner's in Conservation received a $72,000 grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to construct a boardwalk and observation tower in the cranberry marsh area of Callander Bay. The purpose of this project is to allow area citizens an opportunity to observe (hopefully nesting) swans from a distance. |

The moneys are also to be used for educational purposes (pamphlets, signage, website) in order to educate the people about the presence of the swans with a view to protecting them from misidentification and potential death from duck hunters.
