Any watercraft (motorized or not) MEMPHREMAGOG must go through a washing station before launching. Any boat owner must be able to present a $100 valid washing certificate or user certificate 22001144 Regulation respecting the protection of waters from pleasure craft discharges This by-law is intended to prevent water pollution by boats on Lake Memphremagog and its tributaries and adjacent bays. Any discharge from a pleasure boat constitutes an infraction; any boat equipped with a fixed or portable toilet must have a water-tight holding tank. Any person who empties or causes to $300 have emptied the holding tank elsewhere than at the emptying station __________________ Discharge is defined as any organic, liquid or solid, but excludes kitchen and laundry waste water ("grey water")* and the wastes from the boat's motor. * NOTE cyanobacteria: Toilet, kitchen and laundry waters contain organic matters and phosphorus that pollute and contribute to the apparition of cyanobacteria blooms (blue green algae). Those blooms are usually colorfully green, turquoise or red. They may look like paint, pea soup Boating safety patrol or scum. Cyanobacteria blooms may be dangerous for users since toxins, invisible to the naked eye, can be released into the water.

  • Cherry River 'S Wetlands an Unintentionally Created Ecoscape
    Caroline Beaudoin 81 CHERRY RIVER’S WETLANDS: AN UNINTENTIONALLY CREATED ECOSCAPE Caroline Beaudoin Department of Art History, Concordia University Abstract This study examines the various meanings the term landscape harbors as an interdisciplinary cultural agent, and its long established traditional role as a manifestation of dominant cultural values and interests, both visually and materially. Focusing on the Eastern Townships’ Lake Memphremagog region and the relatively small, yet dynamically charged, wetland referred to as Le Marais de la Rivière aux Cerises, this research traces the designated zone’s shifting significance to the surrounding area, beginning with its unintentional creation during the late 19th century’s industrially prosperous era. Résumé Cette étude examine les multiples significations que le terme paysage suscite en tant qu’agent culturel interdisciplinaire et son rôle traditionnel bien établi d’une manifestation, à la fois visuelle et matérielle, de valeurs et d’intérêts dominants d’un point de vue culturel. Axée sur la région du Lac Memphrémagog dans les Cantons de l’Est et, plus particulièrement, le Marais de la Rivière aux Cerises, un endroit relativement restreint mais dynamique, cette recherche suit l’importance changeante de cette zone par rapport à son environnement commençant par sa création involontaire à la fin du 19e siècle. Introduction Landscape studies have traditionally preoccupied, until relatively recently, the art historical and art critical fields. Landscapes have covered tremendous theoretical
