Municipal reserves surrounding some of our lakes serve as an environmental buffer and provide public access to the bed and shore.
On August 29, 2019, County staff met with residents of the Thunder Lake & Lightning Bay subdivisions to inform, consult and involve lot owners in understanding the purpose of reserves, expectations and create recommendations to inform future reserve bylaw revisions in turn informing future lake management plans.

We look forward to working towards a better understanding of how we can ensure that our natural assets can be enjoyed by both public and private users. This page will be updated as information becomes available.
