Established in 1968 for the Preservation of Williams Lake
People living around and downstream from Williams Lake in Halifax and their properties will be safer with the Province’s construction of a new dam.The replacement dam will be built to environmental standards that support protection of the lake’s ecosystem and
Minks live in the Williams lake area because they can safely build their burrows in rivers, streams, and lakes as well as raise their families of young kits.
Exploring your neighborhood and its natural habitats is all part of the science curriculum for grade 4 students in the Halifax Regional Centre for Education. Learners are encouraged to have a “hands-on minds-on” approach to learning about the characteristics of different habitats and their interconnectedness in their own neighbourhoods.
Bird surveys, LakeWatchers program, Lake Water Quality testing, HRM’s Regional Review, Backlands additions, a fix for the dam, the expansion of the Shaw Wilderness Park and more have kept us busy this year. We will be reporting on these important projects at our Annual General Meeting and invite you to join us to get a sense of how you and your family can be citizen environmentalists.
Shaw Wilderness Park just Super-Sized! Healthy Lake Water Quality Tests Results! Successful Bird Watching Series and Surveys! A Fix for the Dam are just some of the headlines in our 2024 Newsletter. And don’t forget our AGM coming up on June 11th. Read more….
