What is the International Joint Commission?
Many waterways, including the Niagara River and Great Lakes, flow between the borders of Canada and the United States. Upon recognition that use of the water will ultimately affect the other, Canada and the United states signed the 1909 Boundary Waters Treaty and created the International Joint Commission, an independent international organization with representatives from both countries.
The IJC has two main functions: issuing orders of approval to projects that will affect water flow across bi-national waters, and studying transboundary issues and providing recommendations, also called references, to each government when requested.
