Bob Gibbs of the Pigeon Lake Watershed Association will be our guest speaker. He will tell us about the PLWA’s stewardship work and their process for developing the Pigeon Lake Management Plan. As well, there will be an election of WWMC board members for the 2016/17 term. All are welcome. A copy of the 2015 AGM minutes, as well as those for the board meetings, is available for download at the WWMC website (www.wwmc.ca Go to Calendar of Events). Council Update Stan Franklin, WWMC Chair The summer of 2016 has produced a significant "watershed" milestone for Wabamun Lake. Historically, effective or any management and stewardship of lakes have been problematic since jurisdiction and responsibility is widely dispersed geographically, legislatively and politically. It is obvious that the welfare of the lake and the watershed is a collective responsibility of the Government of Alberta, Municipal Governments in the watershed and stewardship groups (the WWMC, the North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance and others). On June 9, 2016 the WWMC convened a meeting of all Municipal Chief Administrative Officers (CAOs) from the Summer Villages (Seba Beach, Betula Beach, Lakeview, Point Alison and Kapasiwin) and the Village of Wabamun and Parkland County.

Fifty people attended the classroom session on Friday at the Seba Beach Seniors Centre to hear Dave discuss the theory and practice of restoring disturbed areas using natural processes and native vegetation. Most of the participants owned property on Wabamun Lake but a few came from other lakes in central Alberta. Dave showed many examples of successful projects from across the country. Early Saturday morning, about 20 people showed up to gather willow, dogwood and balsam poplar cuttings. These were then taken to the shoreline property of Pat and Leslie Taylor who graciously offered their property as a demonstration site. There, with Dave’s instruction and guidance, everyone pitched in to plant the cuttings to stabilize the Taylor’s shoreline and prevent further damage. They also constructed a wattle fence with the willow cuttings to prevent erosion from wave action. We thank all who participated and trust you’ll put your new knowledge to good use. …2 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Lakescape is a publication of the Wabamun Watershed Management Council.

  • Wabamun Lake Boat Access and Nutrient Management
    Project Background Wabamun Lake is an extremely popular destination for Parkland County residents and visitors. The ever increasing recreational use is causing a great deal of pressure on existing boat launches and informal access points. In 2013, Parkland County initiated the Wabamun Boat Launch Study. The results of the study identified a number of key recommendations for consideration: · Expand and enhance Village of Wabamun Boat Launch · Expand and enhance Wabamun Provincial Park Boat Launch · Develop a formalized boat launch on the south side of the lake · Maintain informal access points for use by local residents and formalize access controls What Are We Doing? Wabamun Provincial Park parking has been expanded and enhanced. Village at Wabamun is moving forward with upgrades and improvements to their boat launch facility with funding support from Parkland County and the Province Of Alberta. An Ad Hoc Committee, made up of representatives from surrounding Lake Wabamun Municipalities, Trans Alta, Wabamun Watershed Management Council and the Province has been established to address the immediate issues around the lake including: · Informal access points · Nutrient management WABAMUN LAKE BOAT ACCESS parkland AND NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT county 1. Ad Hoc Committee Recomendations The committee recommended solutions to the emergent issues which have been supported by each of the Lake Wabamun municipalities for implementation. · Parkland County is proposing to develop a new south side boat launch and park to provide another formal boat launch. · Parkland County and the other adjacent municipalities will be closing off all undeveloped lake access points only allowing limited access. · All adjacent municipalities will be establishing nutrient loading restrictions which will manage and control the use of cosmetic fertilizers.

  • Wabamun Lake Report 2019
    Wabamun Lake Report 2019 Updated October 21, 2020 ALBERTA LAKE MANAGEMENT SOCIETY’S LAKEWATCH PROGRAM LakeWatch has several important objectives, one of which is to collect and interpret water quality data from Alberta’s Lakes. Equally important is educating lake users about aquatic environments, encouraging public involvement in lake management, and facilitating cooperation and partnerships between government, industry, the scientific community and lake users. LakeWatch reports are designed to summarize basic lake data in understandable terms for the widest audience, and are not meant to be a complete synopsis of information about specific lakes. Additional information is available for many lakes that have been included in LakeWatch, and readers requiring more information are encouraged to seek those sources. ALMS would like to thank all who express interest in Alberta’s aquatic environments, and particularly those who have participated in the LakeWatch program. These leaders in stewardship give us hope that our water resources will not be the limiting factor in the health of our environment. If you require data from this report, please contact ALMS for the raw data files. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The LakeWatch program is made possible through the dedication of its volunteers. At Wabamun Lake, we would like to thank Stan Franklin and Neil Fleming for their dedication to LakeWatch. We would also like to thank Sarah Davis Cornet, Caleb Sinn, and Pat Heney, who were summer technicians in 2019.
