Established in 1968 for the Preservation of Williams Lake
Professors and students from local universities make use of Williams Lake as a testing ground for their field research. And every year, scientists, academics, and researchers are drawn to study the vast array of topics that concern the lake – from hydrology (the study of water), geology, biology (animal and plant life) and geography. We thought friends of Williams Lake might like to learn about some of these research studies.
The Williams Lake Conservation Company and the Captain William Spry Community Library are hosting a series of talks by local experts on the amazing natural environment we live in. Topics include hiking trails, fishing for newbies, birding skills, identifying wild edible plants and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. We welcome you to join us at the Captain William Spry Public Library in the Program Room for most speakers. No registration needed for most events.
Whether you’re new to fishing or just getting started, this is an opportunity to learn about sustainable fishing practices, conservation and how we can all play a part in protecting our local waters. We’ll discuss conservation efforts, local fish species, and tips for responsible fishing to ensure that Nova Scotia’s natural resources are forever preserved for future generations. Bring your family, friends and newbie fishers to connect, share experiences, and let’s talk fish!
Hope for Wildlife is a charitable wildlife rehabilitation and education organization. Since 1997, they have rescued, rehabilitated, and released over 90,000 injured and orphaned wild animals representing over 250 species in Nova Scotia.

I have been getting questions about it, so here’s some info. about the name and the place.
