Our Initiatives
Road Maintenance
Our roads are maintained byyour donations only. The work we do includes grading, culvert repair and replacement, and annual clearing to prepare for snow removal.
Garbage and Recycle Shed
These sheds are maintained by your donations to the association. The sheds allow garbage to be centralized, it and helps keep animals away from rummaging though garbage bags and creating a mess. Thank you for helping us work together to keep these structures clean and tidy.
NBALA Membership
Your association belongs to the Alliance of Lake Associations (NBALA). Our paid membership allows us to join several lakes in the area to have a solid voice with the Province. With our partners,, we’ve been able to establish the Clean, Drain, Dry program, the Invasive Plant Patrol, and the purchase of equipment for water testing. This year, we will be receiving a report summarizing the water testing data of our lake collected over the past eight years. This report will provide a summary of the condition of our lake and a comparison of Davidson Lake to eight other lakes in the area. To date, there have been no major concerns and that is thanks to your continued efforts to use phosphate free and organic products.
Weekend Activities
Last year we launched weekend nature activities for the young, and young at heart. Currently, there are 3 planned dates: July 8, July 29 and August 19. If anyone has any ideas or would like to offer an education session, please let us know!
