The Naked Truth Citizens' Action Plan to Save Lake Simcoe (2006)
In Summer 2006, the Ladies of the Lake brought together 300 people for action planning events in Barrie, Innisfil, Holland River, and Georgina. A Citizens' Action Plan was assembled by the Ladies of the Lake and Windfall Ecology Centre.

Citizens agreed overwhelmingly “we must manage the environment as part of daily life. The Lake must be no longer be an isolated “science- fix” but plans to save it must be intertwined with economic growth strategies, youth opportunities, innovative grassroots action and more.”
