It took about a month longer than expected to complete, but the

International Joint Commission has submitted its final report on the management of the Lake of the Woods Watershed to the government's of Canada and the United States.

Kelly Saunders was on the initial Task Force and she like a number of the recommendations that have been made in the report.

The report calls for a joint management board for the Lake of the Woods Watershed, as well as a summit meeting by 2015.

The final report still has to be approved by both the government's of Canada and the U.S.
