Fun On The Lake!

Every Wednesday this summer, our team has been out on the water conducting lake health monitoring. We record key indicators including pH, water temperature, depth, dissolved oxygen, specific conductivity, turbidity, and nutrient levels to help us track changes over time.

To keep our community informed, we’ve been sharing pulse checks with snapshots of the latest data alongside recommended reference ranges through both the Pioneer Newspaper and our social media channels.

Additionally, we have had the opportunity to assist local biologists with the annual Bank Swallow bird monitoring projects as well as checking the habitats regularly to ensure the signage and fencing are intact to help the colony's protection and growth. 

We’re grateful for the incredible community support so far. A special thank-you to our volunteer boat captain for lending their time and expertise, and to the Wildsight YCC Crew for joining us on the water to lend a hand!

What We Are Up To
Beach Monitoring

Since late May, weekly beach water samples were taken at Windermere Beach, James Chabot and Kinsmen to monitor e.coli levels in the swim areas, ensuring safe swimming areas for all!

Creek Monitoring

Every Tuesday this summer, our team has been out at Windermere Creek and Abel Creek to measure water quality and flow rates. These regular check-ins help us track the health of our local waterways and spot any changes early.
This season, the Wildsight YCC Crew and dedicated citizen volunteers have joined us in the field, lending their energy and expertise to keep our creeks thriving.

Day Camps
Every Thursday, free summer day camps are offered for children aged 6-12 years in either Invermere or Canal Flats in partnership with CLSS where kids have the opportunity to learn about our aquatic ecosystems and our watershed health!
