Bounded by watersheds—areas of land where surface water converges, such as shorelines—the region’s naturally occurring ecosystems include forests, wetlands, grasslands and river habitats. Lindsay’s economy is supported by the Sturgeon Lake watershed through a variety of industries, such as fishing, tourism, recreation, small businesses and other enterprises, including the Lindsay Makerspace.
