Looking for Feedback!

The Davidson Lake Association met this week to start planning for the upcoming year. To help us in these efforts, we’re hoping you could take a few minutes to complete this survey. Thank you in advance for taking the time to let us know your opinions and suggestions!

Our Newly Protected Area

EXCITING NEWS!! Thank you to past president Ken Donald and Andy Morton for working with the provincial government, and receiving approval, to have the tract of land stretching from Loon Lane to the outlet and back to Route 2 now identified as a Nature Legacy protected area. This means that this area cannot be developed and can only be used for hiking and recreational use. This will help ensure the ongoing health of our lake for many years to come. We appreciate this fantastic effort for our community!

Annual Fundraiser

Our annual fundraiser is now underway. I hope many of you have been visited by our committee members and received one of our “Welcome to Summer” pamphlets. If not, please find one attached. This year, your kind donations will help us start the Invasive Plant Patrol, maintain our membership with the NBALA as well as continue to maintain our roads and garbage shed. They’re also going towards some of our community events, the first being this Saturday at Sandy Cove Bible Camp where there will be a draw for door prizes for everyone that’s contributed to date. If you would like to donate, you can send an e-transfer to davidsonlakeassociation@outlook.com or directly to one of our executive. This year, your donation counts towards your membership, so you should only be visited once 🙂. If you’d like to wait to donate at the hotdog social, no problem, we will have receipt books there. Looking forward to seeing everyone, and thank you so much for helping keep our lake safe for the community!

2019 AGM Update

Dear Residents,

 

As many of you recall, during the summer of 2017, our water levels became dangerously low. This was caused by the loss of the beaver dam and beaver population in the outlet, which had been in place for over two decades, combined with extremely high temperatures. At that time, we discussed residents’ concerns regarding this situation at our Annual General Meeting and there was unanimous support to immediately seek out and implement a solution to address the situation. A work group was struck and based on research and expert advice, a temporary water leveler was installed. This has helped immensely with keeping our water clean and safe and our fish and plant habitats exactly as they should be.

Over the past several months, a long term solution to repair the old beaver structure has been designed in close collaboration with Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Department of Environment, Engineers and other lakes in the area. The design includes the addition of an integrated fish way to ensure that our fish population remains unchanged. We will be presenting this solution at our AGM on July 13th and encourage everyone to attend to ask any questions they may have and hopefully support this very important initiative. If you are unable to attend the AGM, the presentation and meeting minutes will be shared after the meeting on this website where there will also be a mechanism to ask questions and share comments and/or concerns.

Thank you everyone for your continued support of your Lake Association and your efforts to keep our lake clean, safe and stable for the many generations to come.

Your Lake Association
