Purpose of the Society: To preserve and protect the quality and health of the Kalamalka Lake watershed, for all future generations, so that the lake may be enjoyed by all user groups in an environmentally sustainable manner.
The group was registered as a Society on June 27, 2008.
Our group formed in response to a common desire to protect Kalamalka Lake, particularly in the light that it is our fresh drinking water reservoir. Historically many residents of Coldstream have expressed a similar desire; there was a Save Our Lake group and there is a Friends of Kal Park group. Our group is inspired by the lessons learned by our founding member Christine Cookson with her experiences growing up in Switzerland and seeing first hand the results of environmental abuse on some Swiss Lakes. We want to use a fact-based approach for decision making with regard to Kalamalka Lake and its watershed. We would like to gather water quality data, monitor, and identify problem areas. Then we hope to educate and communicate with the public, and research community in order to fulfill our above stated purpose.
