Gun Lake Rate Payers Association

 

250-238-2279

Contact: Terry Thiessen

 

A non-profit society formed to address and look at the concerns of Gun Lake residents.

To protect the water quality of Gun Lake.
The Association is concerned with environmental factors that affect the water quality of Gun Lake and participate in the annual Secchi Dip-In in order to gather important environmental information about the lake. This reading can serve as an early warning that activities on and around the lake are affecting water quality. We are also working on an evacuation plan in the event of a fire in the area. Sponsors of the annual Gun Lake Family Picnic & Fun Day! Held every August long weekend.

 

The Gun Lake Ratepayers Association has a committee struck to work on the OCP review that is being undertaken this summer.  Debbie Demare is chairing that subcommittee.

 

The GLRA OCP Committee wanted to make sure the issue paper we provided to the SLRD at the July 14 Public meeting was also distributed with other interested parties in the Upper Bridge River Valley.

 

To read the issue paper please click here Gun Lake Rate Payers
