Thank you to everyone who’s already supporting this petition. Every signature is a voice for the lakes and rivers that give life to Canada’s ecosystems, wildlife, and communities.
Many people don’t realize that cremation ashes — often thought to be harmless — can actually alter water chemistry and disturb aquatic life. Studies have shown that ashes contain concentrated salts and trace metals that disrupt the balance nature depends on.
This petition isn’t about religion or culture — it’s about responsibility and respect. Our lakes are not disposal grounds; they are living ecosystems that sustain us all.

Together, we can protect what gives life to us all — our water, our ecosystems, and the generations that will follow.
