Our lakes and water systems in this province are a valuable resource, and maintaining the health of these lakes and rivers is essential. The Love Your Lake program was developed by Watersheds Canada and the Canadian Wildlife Federation. It is an educational initiative that assists shoreline property owners to make the connection between shoreline health and water quality of the lake. Natural vegetation plays a key role in maintaining soil structure, acting as a natural filter and improving water quality overall. Keeping these shorelines healthy and naturalized ensures a lake that will be enjoyed for generations to come. The program gives shoreline property owners the opportunity to receive a personalized property report with details on the state of their shoreline and recommended actions for improving lake health for people and wildlife. It is a voluntary and non-regulatory program. 

We delivered the program in the North Saskatchewan River Watershed from 2016-2021.
