Dog and Cranberry Lakes Conservation Plan

Jul 31, 2024

Have you noticed the growth of weeds, blue green algae or the sometimes murky green colour of the water?

Can something be done?

The Dog and Cranberry Lakes Association (DCLA), a not for profit organization, is making a plan and would like your input.

The purpose of the Association is to support efforts and undertake research that will conserve and improve the environment. The major focus is water quality, especially algae, invasive aquatic plants, land use planning, shoreland health, and preserving nature.

The plan will identify the issues and how we, as a community, intend to work on them. The Association is producing the plan because it represents the interests of all the users of the lakes, be they property owners, seasonal residents, fishermen, or visitors. With a plan we will be able to make progress to conserve the lakes and surrounding environment for generations to come.

Through a comprehensive State of the Lakes Report, produced last year, we have identified 7 issues that need action. Now, through the Draft Conservation Plan the goals that we would like to reach and actions to achieve those goals have been outlined for consultation.

The DCLA is hosting an public consultation open house on Saturday August 3rd at Gilmour Point Beach pavilion between 9:00 and noon. Please come for coffee and share your thoughts or talk to the author of the plan, we would like to hear from you.
