OUR MISSION: Make the Muskoka lakes safer and quieter to ensure the sustainable enjoyment of a treasured shared resource June 2018 - Newsletter Getting the Word Out Chair’s Message Safe Quiet Lakes had an outstanding 2017, reaching thousands with messages about safe and responsible boating. There were over 3300 respondentsto the “Your Lakes, Your Views” survey. These responses gave us clear guidance on the issues affecting you and how you want them addressed. Based on this, and input from the April 2018 Stakeholder meeting we have reinforced our commitment to education and awareness. We are undertaking specific education programs on wakes by promoting “Slow Down, Bow Down “, on speed to close to shore by developing new media, and on effective complaintsto the OPP. The articles below have more details on these initiatives. Over development is a rising threat in the Muskokas. As a consequence of the resultsfrom the survey, we believe the review processfor large lakefront developmentsshould require a lake capacity assessment to ensure our lakes are not overburdened. We are participating in thisissue at the Township and District level in conjunction with the MLA and the Friends of Muskoka. We are thrilled with the response to last month’srecruiting eblast. Two new directors. Jayne McCaw and Rob Bosomworth, both from Lake Rosseau, have joined our hardworking Board. We are in the process of interviewing several more candidates and look forward to working with these committed and enthusiastic volunteers. Thank you to the many donors, lake associations and individuals, and to our generous sponsors. Your interest, support and participation are so very important to us. Please be in touch if you would like to get involved in our work. I can be reached at chair@safequiet.ca. Frances Carmichael Chair, Safe Quiet Lakes
