Spring 2024
In 2024, in conjunction with Roundtable on Lake Health, the Ministry of Natural Resources & Forestry has engaged 3rd party consultants to review the current best practices of the Dam operation on Lake Bernard. Visit www.engagelakebernard.ca to participate, provide feedback, and for more information
A healthy lake starts with healthy shorelines. LOVE YOUR LAKE is a shoreline evaluation program designed to encourage lakefront property owners to take proactive steps toward improving lake health by creating and maintaining healthier shorelines. This program connects shoreline property owners with the information they need to make smart land management choices that improve wildlife habitat, water quality, and the overall health of your lake.
Love Your Lake is a partnership program between the Canadian Wildlife Federation and Watersheds Canada. The program is delivered in your area by the LBPOA and our citizen scientist volunteers.
We have updated the Lake Bernard Conservation Guide to include new information about rising chloride levels – please check it out for more information on protecting and caring for the health of our lake. Here is a link to the 22 April 2023 edition Lake Bernard Conservation Guide.
/01The Lake Bernard Conservation Guide is a "living document" and is updated regularly to reflect the Lake Stewardship challenges we face on Lake Bernard
/02TOPICS INCLUDE: Current Threats to Lake Bernard - BGA Blooms, Chloride Levels, Water Levels, and many other important topics for property owners
/03
We are proud to support the Phragmites Working Group Lake Bernard and the NNNEEC in the fight against this invasive species continuing to threaten Lake Bernard.
BGA Blooms have been reported in 2023, and we recommend that you follow the guidelines from our local health unit. Please also report the BGA sighting for testing by the ministry
The health and clarity of our beautiful lake continues to be threatened by contaminants from faulty septic system and other environmental sources, like road salt
Our highest priority is the long term health of Lake Bernard, and for your board, this is our most important job (even as volunteers!), and we have a team of scientists and citizens that find address threats to our lake. They lead our mission of keeping the lake healthy, ALWAYS!
As part of our lake stewardship program, our lake health team undertakes an extensive water testing program to ensure healthy and clean water, and to ensure the health of all living things in our lake. See our Conservation Guide for more information.
In 2022, the LBPOA, in conjunction with the Canadian Wildlife Federation and Watersheds Canada, implemented the Love Your Lake program to help property owners identify and mitigate potential shoreline threats. This is a no cost to members program, and implementation of assessment recommendations is at the option of the property owner.
