Traction and Action
Petitions, politicians and persistence have ultimately positioned the deteriorating Williams Lake dam on HRM Regional Council’s agenda! We have traction!
Iceboating on Williams Lake – Seize the Day
Hurtling across a frozen lake at whip-lash speeds, feet-first, on your back, on a plank, centimetres from the ice is what iceboaters live for!

But the universe has to align for optimum conditions before passionate iceboaters can safely seize the day.
HRM to Recommend Province Take on Williams Lake Dam
HRM’s Environment and Sustainability Standing Committee (ESSC) addressed the much-anticipated staff report on the Williams Lake dam. The staff report fell flat in several areas, but the big take-away is the recommendation that Halifax Regional Council request the mayor to ask the province to assume responsibility for repairs or replacement of the Williams Lake dam.
