Our routine lake water testing on 5 August, 2026, at the East end of the lake indicates high E-coli count in the test area. The count is above the acceptable healthy and safe swimming limit and therefore the Eastern end of the lake is not considered healthy for swimming.

BuildNS has released an engineering schematic of the new dam at Williams Lake, Halifax.

Here are the documents of the WLCC Annual General Meeting held on 23 June, 2026.
