The BC Lake Stewardship Society is preparing to host two LakeKeepers workshops in 2011! Thanks to the generous funding we received by the RBC Blue Water Project, we are able to offer these two LakeKeepers workshops free of charge to all participants!

The first workshop will be held in Kelowna, on September 10th and 11th.

The second LakeKeepers workshop will be held on Vancouver Island on Monday September 26th and Tuesday September 27th.

Registration is now open. To download the registration form, click here! Due to limited space, a $50 deposit (which will be fully reimbursed to you when you sign in at the course) is required to hold your seat.

If you are interested in attending either of these workshops, please submit your registration form and deposit to the BC Lake Stewardship Society office at 203-1889 Springfield Road, Kelowna BC, V1Y 5V5.  For more information, please contact the BCLSS office at 1-877- BC LAKES or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The LakeKeepers workshop is an information-packed 2-day workshop taught by a qualified instructor. A variety of topics will be covered, including organizing a stewardship group, fundraising, lake ecology, watershed planning and developing a lake monitoring program. Additional modules will be covered as well, based on the interests of the attendees (as discussed and determined prior to the workshop). Optional modules include: Invasive Species, Aquatic Plant Surveying, Watershed Assessments, and Watershed Planning Processes.

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.
