Advocacy and Stewardship
Our priority is effective stewardship, monitoring and environmental management practices to help educate our communities and protect the health of our lake ecosystems.
Good stewardship and advocacy revolves around effective communication strategies and collective action. Over the next five years, we will continue to expand our membership by canvassing or creating individual lake associations, and strengthening our communication network with other watershed associations.
We will also continue to foster our relationships with the provincial government, relevant government departments and stakeholders to ensure that lake environmental management is at the forefront of effective water and environmental policy at both a provincial and municipal level.
