Love Your Lake Seminars are back!

Seminar #1

TITLE: Our lakes and enhanced wakes: impacts and… a solution?

SPEAKER:  Timothy James, Adj. Associate Professor, Queen’s University and Science Communications Lead, University of Iceland. Board member of Safe Quiet Lakes and the Coalition of Haliburton Property Owners' Associations.   

ABOUT THE SEMINAR: Ontario’s lakes are enjoyed by many different stakeholders, including residents and visitors with a huge spectrum of recreational users. While we generally do a pretty good job of sharing the lake, the trend of larger boats and larger waves is stirring things up a bit. In particular, enhanced wake boats, which produce waves that are powerful enough to surf, are growing in popularity, but at what cost to lake health and on the ability of others to enjoy the water? Can we ensure sustainable usage of these pleasure crafts and equitable lake usage for the future?
