In late March 2021, the Niagara Regional Council voted to support the idea of a Ramsar designation of the Niagara River, under the 1971 Ramsar Convention, with a designation as a wetland of international importance.

At the Oct. 23, 2019, meeting of Friends of One Mile Creek (FOMC), special guest speaker Owen Bjorgan talked about Niagara's wetlands including discussion about our local creeks.   

At the June 19, 2019 meeting of Friends of One Mile Creek (FOMC) at the Community Centre environmental consultant Jocelyn Baker talked about building sustainable communities, using the One Mile Creek watershed plan as an example. Also, Stuart McPherson, restoration lead at the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA), talked about current restoration opportunities.

Friends of One Mile Creek congratulates the two citizens recognized by the Town of Niagara on the Lake for their contribution to protecting the environment. Lord Mayor Volunteer Awards in seven categories were presented to 15 citizens, including Sandra O'Connor and Finn Madsen, for their contributions to the community.
