Clear Lake Cottager's Association

The CLCA has been contacted by the Lake Partner Program to participate in the 2017 Ontario Recreational Lakes and Algae Survey.

This survey forms part of a graduate student project, and is being conducted as a partnership between Queen’s University, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, the Muskoka Watershed Council, the Federation of Cottagers’ Associations (FOCA), and Nipissing University.

The study’s overall goal is to assess the health of lakes in Ontario. The researchers are very interested in recording the opinions and insights of residents and cottage owners, as they are the most frequent users and most familiar with their lake.

Building on a similar survey conducted by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment in 1985-1986, the 2017 Ontario Recreational Lakes and Algae Survey will assess residents and cottager owners’ perceptions of lake health. It will also gather data on how perceptions regarding algae have changed over time, and if and how algae impact recreational enjoyment on lakes.

They would like to hear from us. If you are interested in participating in the survey, please click on the link below.
