Lake Louisa Environmental Update

The Ministry of the Environment and the Fight against Climate Change remains on site at Lake Louisa in Caron’s Bay, overseeing the oil contamination clean up. According to the Ministry of the Environment and the Fight against Climate Change registry, potentially 1 600 liters of heating oil was accidentally discharged into the soil and the surrounding waterways. The LLPOA has made a formal request to the Ministry for more information as well as the specific decontamination measures that will be taken.  Any questions should be directed to the Urban Planning and Environment Department at the Municipal office.
 
The LLPOA requested, and received, an electronic copy of the Wentworth Civil Protection Plan that outlines steps and protocols for communications in situations of risk or emergency.  The LLPOA will be attending the council meeting this Monday, May 2nd to seek clarification and follow up with questions raised by our members.
