The British Columbia Lake Stewardship Society is preparing to launch our "LakeKeepers Workshops" in August 2009. The first course will be held at Lake Windermere in the East Kootenays.

In 2004, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada funded the completion of the LakeKeepers manual. Some of you may already have the manual or have heard about it. For those of you that have not, this manual is a lakeshore resident's guide to the stewardship and monitoring of lakes. Its purpose is to provide education, awareness, technical training and support for curious and concerned lake stewards.

The BCLSS has received an overwhelming response from individuals interested in attending our "Train the Trainers" LakeKeepers workshops to become certified as LakeKeepers instructors. At this time, we have filled all of our regional LakeKeepers instructors' positions.

There is still opportunity, however, to attend one of many LakeKeepers workshops offered next year throughout BC. Additional information on upcoming LakeKeepers workshops, locations and dates will be posted on this website.
