The Conference of Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Governors and Premiers is a group of grown-up leaders who get together to talk about different places and things in North America. They talk about the Great Lakes, which are really big and important bodies of water, and the St. Lawrence River, which goes from the Great Lakes to the ocean.
These leaders are like the bosses of different states and provinces. They talk about important things like trade, which is when people and things go from one place to another to be sold or used. They also talk about keeping the air, water, and land clean and healthy for people and animals to live in.
The governors and premiers want to make sure that everyone has a good place to live and work. They try to make rules and plans to make things better and safer for everyone. So, they get together regularly to share ideas and make plans to improve life in their region.
