A tale of two lakes

LAKE SIMCOE:
Location: North of Toronto

Watershed: 3,573 square kilometres
Federal funding allocated for cleanup: $12 million
Dollars per square kilometre: $16,620

LAKE WINNIPEG

Manitoba Water Stewardship Minister Christine Melnick said she doesn't begrudge Lake Simcoe the $12 million, but said she's disappointed Lake Winnipeg is being shortchanged.
