From CBC News, November 19, 2021:

A Windsor-based engineer said climate change is taking a toll on the health of the Great Lakes and this could in turn have an impact on the quality of drinking water for millions of people.

Saad Jasim, who is also president of the International Ozone Association, said the impact of climate change on the Great Lakes is quite visible in the form of harmful algal blooms.

According to Jasim around 50 million people live around the Great Lakes and they all drink from that source.

Jasim said maintaining a high quality for water in the Great Lakes should be a priority for governments.
