Why have an Association to look after our lake? The protection of our lake is difficult, binding and requires sometimes drastic changes in our old habits. Why do we have to comply to these changes? Instead of trying to convince ourselves of the need to do so, let's look at what happened to the lakes where the locals didn't.
Click this link Radio-Canada Report (french) and view the map of Quebec's 665 lakes to learn more about Quebec's lakes. Most of these lakes in Quebec were classified as oligotrophic or ultra-oligotrophic 50 years ago. The picture is not the same today. Many of these lakes have lost gallons due to cottage life and large-scale agriculture. Only 1.7% of the lakes still classified as ultra-oligotrophic remain, and the Grand Lac Rond is one of them. Super! But beware, the water has deteriorated in recent decades. Even if we are classified as ultra-oligotrophic, one of the 2 reading stations of the lake indicates a degradation of the water that may cause us to fall in the short term into the lower category of Oligotrophe. To make a short story, one could say that in 1970, the lake could have been classified as Nec Plus Ultra - oligotrophic with impeccable water quality with almost no sediment in suspension. This is no longer the case and is mainly due to the cottages around the lake. Hence the importance of a dense and efficient shoreline to reduce the flow of sediment into the lake by rains and snowmelt. Let's be vigilant and proactive. It is imperative to work together to protect this little jewel that we have that wobbles and risks losing feathers and hurting us. It is the business of all residents and users of the lake to help the Association protect our lake. This website, in association with the Regroupement de l'eau pour la Protection de l'eau de la Vallée de la Gatineau has been built to assist you in achieving these goals.
