About Us
The Friends of Fort Erie’s Creeks (FOFEC) were initially formed as the "Ad-Hoc Black Creek Clean-Up Committee" in 1980, as a result of a petition put forth by citizens of the Black Creek area. As a subcommittee of the town council, they were given the responsibility of monitoring and cleaning Black, Beaver and Frenchman's Creeks. Three years later, after changing their name and mandate to include all of Fort Erie's Creeks, they became a registered, charitable non-profit organization. To date, FOFEC’s mandate has expanded even further to include the monitoring – and restoration where permitted - of all tributaries and associated ecosystems located within the Fort Erie watershed, with a strong emphasis on educating post-secondary university and college students in the process.
