Who are we?

We are a group of volunteer property owners, residents, and cottagers from all walks of life who:

•     see the lakes as living ecosystems
•     respect the environment by minimizing the footprints we leave behind
•     demonstrate civility towards others

What do we do?

We promote the interests of the community, facilitate the relationship between the municipality and those living in the Poisson Blanc watershed, full or part-time, and offer solutions and ideas to deal with environmental challenges, social issues, and development.

We do this by:
