BLPOA Supports the Coalition of Equitable Water Flow (cewf.ca)

Boshkung Lake Property Owners’ Association is a member of the Coalition for Equitable Water Flow (cewf.ca), a local volunteer organization that works closely with the Trent Severn Waterway (TSW) in representing property owners on the reservoir system.

CEWF has produced the following two videos to explain why water levels are either higher or lower than normal and to assist property owners in preparing their waterfronts for the extremes of high and low water.

1.    Understanding the TSW and Climate Change
2.   Protecting Your Waterfront

During the BLPOA’s Annual General Meeting on Saturday, July 8th, 2023, we had the benefit of having Ted Spence, CEWF Chair, as our guest speaker.

In addition to showing the video Extreme Water Levels: What You Can Do, he discussed in detail the information in his Presentation to the BLPOA on July 8, 2023.

Old Growth Forest in Haliburton Forest, with trees more than 150 years old, earns Historical Conservation Status

“A privately owned old-growth forest near Haliburton, Ont., is becoming the first in Canada to receive conservation status under a new special designation.

The South Freezy Lake old-growth forest is owned by Haliburton Forest and Wild Life Reserve, a logging company that supports forest conservation and sustainability by protecting some of its lands from timber harvesting and industrial activity. In collaboration with the Nature Conservancy of Canada, Haliburton Forest announced that it will designate its South Freezy Lake site as an Other Effective area-based Conservation Measure (OECM).”
