The Lake Plan is a public document that will report on the current condition of the lake and offer recommendations for the unimpaired enjoyment of the lake into the future. It will serve as a guide to users, property owners, township planners and councillors when making decisions that could affect the lake and its surroundings.
Work on the lake plan started more than five years ago. Progress has been slow, as almost all of the work is being carried out by volunteers, many of whom do not live at the lake year round. However, this year has seen great progress and we anticipate a great deal of public input into the plan so that it can be completed over the next year.
Here are the next steps:
- Collection of information from the general public through distribution of a survey questionnaire.
- Open workshop to review survey findings and to develop recommendations
- Compilation of the information and preparation of a draft report
- Distribution and receipt of comments
- Final report and distribution
We welcome your input. There are two ways you can participate:
- Download a copy of the survey, fill it out, and drop it off to John Sherbino at 7901 Canoe Lake Road (adjacent to the Mitchell Creek bridge). There will be a sign on the mail box.
- Fill out the survey on-line (recommended).
