Dear Member,
This booklet is published as an information booklet on the
Environment and on other matters pertinent to the lake and the
surrounding areas.
The Directors feel that your Association has accomplished
much since our beginning in 1997. We set out to pick up on the
excellent work done for many years by the Lake Louisa Environmental Protection
Association (LLEPA) and we have, in fact, been successful in sustaining and
increasing that activity. We have finished setting up an active Neighborhood Watch
program and have a plan in place for the re-stocking of the lake. Boating Safety is a
priority and this program is being developed.
We have established good relations with the Councils of Wentworth and
Wentworth North. Building on the electronic base established by the LLEPA we are
now fully computerized and can communicate with seven of our nine Directors, and
you can communicate with us. The contact for E-mail is: ([email protected])
Each of us as members can play a part in adding to our membership list and
making a stronger Association. Talk to a neighbor or friend who is not a member and
point out the advantages of doing things together which will work toward improving
our property values.
You have elected nine dedicated Directors who strongly believe our motto
"Lake Louisa - It's our responsibility".

LETTER FROM THE MAYOR WENTWORTH NORTH
Wentworth-North
27 APRIL 1999
Dear Members of the Lake
Louisa Association,
On behalf of the Municipal
Council of Wentworth-North, I
would like to congratulate you
on your involvement in
preserving the quality of Lake
Louisa.
The different governments
have enacted laws, but I
believe that the education of
the population is the cornerstone for the protection of the
environment. As Lake Louisa
is one of the many lakes
within our territory, it is
reassuring to know that an
association like yours is
involved as a partner in the protection of our natural resources.
Thanks to those who have given their time to the association and welcome to those
who will ensure its continuation.
Bravo to those who have contributed and continue to contribute.
André Genest, Mayor
Municipality of Wentworth-North

OPEN LETTER FROM THE ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE
If you have chosen Lake Louisa, in all likelihood you were attracted by the charms of
this large body of water. Here you have found a unique and beautiful environment.
It is your responsibility as an individual and as a property owner of a portion of this
environment to protect it or repair past errors.
Some only see Lake Louisa as a recreation site and don't worry about protecting and
preserving it. They don't understand that fishing, swimming, and even motorized
water sports won't have the same attraction if the quality of the water deteriorates.
As we use it for bathing, laundry, and cooking, we often take for granted the water
that contributes so greatly to the quality of life. You probably would not have chosen
to be here if the water quality was doubtful, and the value of your property will not be
the same if the lake degrades.
The question we must ask ourselves: "What can I do to protect the quality of water in
our lake?" Some ideas:
1. What is the proper distance between the lake, any springs or creeks and
wells, for my drainage field?
2. Is my septic system performing well? Does it meet the norms?
3. Are there sufficient trees and shrubs to protect my portion of the
shoreline?
4. Is there erosion on my property?
5. Do I use pesticides or chemical fertilisers?
6. Do I clean up after my animals?
7. Are my camp fires too close to the lake?
8. Does my property resemble an urban landscape or the natural beauty of a
mountain lake?
Landscaping of lakefront property must respect the life of the
lake.
For information on these questions and others, you can contact
members of the Environment Committee of the Lake Louisa
Property Owners Association.

SEPTIC SYSTEMS
How They Work and How to Extend Their Life
TANKS
Septic tanks must have structural integrity and be watertight. The most commonly
used construction material for septic tanks is concrete, which is precast for easy
installation in the field. Other materials include fiberglass and polyethylene. Plastic
and fiberglass are very light, easily transported, and resistant to corrosion and
decay.
Life Expectancy
A well-designed and maintained tank should last 30 plus years.
Metal tanks have a very short life span because these tanks rust very quickly from
the sulfuric acid formed by the anaerobic decomposition of waste. When someone is
called to inspect your tank, extreme safety measures are required. Do not do it
yourself. Leave it to a professional. Septic tanks contain toxic gases that can kill in a
matter of minutes.
Watertight
The worst condition is when tanks leak; there will be a loss of storage volume for
sludge and scum.
When tanks leak, ground water can enter. Ground water is four to six times higher in
dissolved oxygen than septage. It is possible that infiltration of highly oxygenated
water could cause greater sludge production.
It also disrupts normal solids sedimentation and separation of fats, oils and greases,
and causes the loss of bacteria that biologically break down and reduce the volume
of organic solids.
Sludge and Scum
Bacteria in a septic tank start the break down of solids. Heavier material (sludge)
settles to the bottom, scum from the breakdown of grease and other light materials
collects on the top. The liquid forms the largest portion in the center. As the sludge
and scum accumulate, they reduce the volume available for the liquid portion
If the sludge and scum layers are allowed to become too thick, solid materials may
flow from the septic tank into the soil absorption field, clogging the pipes and soil and
causing the system to fail. It is only the partially clarified liquid which should flow into
your weeping bed for further treatment.
WEEPING FIELDS
Many organisms live in and on the filter bed (weeping field) of your septic system
Clogging the filter bed occurs gradually. If waste water cannot flow through the filter
bed at the rate it is being dosed, the system will be degraded.
Overloading can cause saturation, which breaks down the texture of the soil in the
bed and can cause bypasses. Clogging the field with solids can also cause by
passes or over saturation of the unclogged area. By passes are a worse case
scenario because poorly treated effluent will be released into the lake and ground
7
water.
Bacteria Activity
Septic systems are biological reactors. As waste material degrades, it generates
gases. Septic systems can suffer from gas resuspension of solids.
Inefficiency due to excess gas formation in septic tanks is caused by many variables
such as excessive food load, additives, elevated temperature, and tank geometry.
Gassing should be kept to an minimum. Septic tanks need to digest slowly and be
loaded in proper proportions.
Do not add commercially available bacteria additives to your septic system. They
cause excessive gassing or boiling. Gases push sludge up and suspend solids
which will drain with the liquid portion into the weeping field
Chemicals
Toxic materials, chemicals, etc. will dissolve, but not disappear, in the liquid portion.
These are not desirable pollutants in the weeping bed which eventually filters to the
lake.
HEALTH CONCERNS
Bacterial contamination of ground water, well water, creek water, and lake water
from failing septic systems and animal waste are of great concern
Wastewater never just disappears for it is part of our planet's never-ending recycling
process.
Acknowledge the Value and Importance of Your Septic System. Both the
quantity and quality of the sewage water entering the tank affects its proper function.
Its purpose, as the first step in treatment and disposal of the sewage, is to allow
certain intestinal bacteria enough time to break solids down into liquid form. This 24hour per day operation plays a crucial role in households that use septic systems.
Acknowledge that The System Has Limits and Boundaries on What Can Be
Expected of It. Every septic system has a very finite maximum limit on the quality
and quantity of sewage that it can accept. This influent must never exceed the
effluent (outgoing) capacity of the entire system. The system's size and percolation
rate/absorption rate/surface application rate determine the maximum loading that it
can handle. If you exceed either the quantity or quality maximum of your system,
problems are certain to appear!
Treat The System with The Respect that It Deserves. The most common cause of
septic system problems is using too much water in the home. Water restricted
plumbing fixtures (mandated in some sectors of the USA) have helped. But in
today's self-gratifying and affluent society the need for voluntary water conservation,
through unpopular, is becoming more and more necessary.
Don't Violate Its Dignity. The organic, bacterial life in a septic tank can easily be
hampered by the introduction of various organics. Most notable violators include
paint products, petroleum products, bactericides (excessive bleaches, disinfectants)
greases, etc.
8
Prevention of Problems Is Easier, Cheaper, and Much Less Stress-Producing
than Repairing. Failed septic systems can sometimes be repaired by relatively
minor work but often need total replacement. This can mean unexpected,
unplanned, and large expenses. Additionally, your lawn, outside systems, and some
home improvements must be dug up and removed
The septic system is usually low on the priority list until it ceases to function properly.
It is part of a fragile and extensive spider web. If it fails or is dysfunctional, it quickly
moves to the central limelight of family concern
WARNING SIGNS THAT YOUR TANK OR SEPTIC FIELD IS FAILING
Look for seepage and spots of lush vegetation, backup of sewage, odours, effluent
ponding, breakout to the surface of the ground, eroded soil, or other unusual
features. Thick black sticky soil adjacent to the drain field may indicate a problem.
How to Protect It.
Low-flush toilets, low flow showerheads, and faucet aerators can help reduce
sewage flow. Peak daily overloads or continuous overloads may cause the system
to malfunction
Do not flood your septic system. Flooding the tank can enable suspended solids to
escape the tank and clog the drain field. Overloading with high volume of water also
leads to lack of settling time. Septic tanks need rest periods between large loading of
waste water.
For example, weekend guests, parties, new water-using appliances, and washing
several consecutive loads of laundry are all possible causes of a hydraulic overload.
Separate large flows of water by a reasonable amount of time. For example, don't
follow a laundry load with a bath. Leaky faucets and running toilets can discharge
large volumes into the system.
Avoid food scraps down the drain. Sink garbage disposal systems are not
appropriate for septic tanks. Food particles are not easily decomposed by the
bacteria in a septic tank. When suspended in the liquid, they can float out into the
weeping field and build up to cause blockages. Compost instead.
Other ways to extend the life of your system: Reduce the amount of pollutants
discharged into the system Keep toxic household chemicals, grease, and oil out of
the system.
Alarms. Alarm systems, battery operated or electric, are available. They are used to
warn of elevated levels in tanks. They are particularly useful if your septic system
uses a pump to raise fluids from one tank to another and for holding tanks to give
advance warning of the need to pump the tank
Water softeners. There is ongoing discussion about the effects of the brine solution
from water softeners in septic tanks. Some reports say it causes deterioration of
concrete tanks. Other reports indicate the brine solution impacts the bacterial action
in the tank. Brine does not damage PVC but it still flows through and affects the
porosity of the soil in weeping beds. Until the question is resolved, it is preferable to
avoid the use of water softening systems with septic systems or any other type of
drainage field
9
Toilet Paper. Coloured toilet paper is not a problem. Excessive use of toilet paper is
a problem This is why 1 or 2-ply toilet paper is recommended. Septic tanks need
time to digest sludge and need to be loaded in proper proportions.
New technology. Technology for nutrient control in on site systems is still in the
developmental stage. Research into units that improve septic tank effluent for
disposal in difficult soil conditions is well advanced, but the adaptation of these
technologies to help control nutrient release is still under study. Sands high in iron
oxide and iron oxide powder mixed with natural sands are being tested in Michigan
for phosphorus removal. Various disinfectant treatments include chlorine, ultraviolet
radiation, ozone, hydrogen peroxide and bromine-based products. Filters and
filtration-type systems for add-ons to septic systems have been developed and are
under review in many areas. Drawbacks are added expense and maintenance
requirements,
Please note that these are research areas and include technology not yet approved
for use in Quebec.
WISE ADVICE
1. Products:
Washing machines: use borax or washing soda instead of bleach. Substitute
baking soda for powdered cleansers. Use soaps or foamy cleaners that
incorporate bleaching agents instead of pure javel water.
Disinfectant: use 1/4 cup borax in 2 litres of water (this is the solution used in
hospitals.) Blocked or slow running drains: a mixture of 1/4 cup of household
baking soda, 1/2 cup of vinegar, and I gallon of boiling water will clear most
residential drain blockages.
Dishwasher detergents: liquid formulas contain less phosphates than the
granular format.
Many liquid detergent for hand washing dishes do not contain phosphates.
2. To help your septic system operate effectively, reduce water consumption. There
are toilets on the market that only use 6 litres of water. To avoid overloading your
septic system, don't do several loads of washing the same day. Repair leaky
faucets and toilets.
3. Do not add commercially available bacteria additives to your septic system
4. Do not use radiator antifreeze. Use plumbing antifreeze to winterize plumbing
systems and appliances.
5. Pumping on a regular basis ensures that sludge never raises to a level where it
can flow into the filter beds and clog them
IF MANAGING WATERFLOW is too disruptive to your lifestyle, oversize your septic
system. Double up the capacity and the weeping system. Nonetheless, adding
phosphates, chemicals, and pollutants is unacceptable.
Routine maintenance and proper operating habits significantly increase the potential
that a system will function for many years. Maintaining records of system inspection
and service visits is good practice. It is not unusual for regulations or lending
institutions to require that on-site system inspections be preformed with a given time
10
of the sale or transfer of property. This requirement sometimes can be waived if the
owner has kept detailed records of past system inspections and maintenance.
Septic systems are highly effective because they use the laws of nature. But to keep
them effective and to protect our lake, we must respect all the rules of nature.
NUTRIENTS
Much is said and written about the need to control the amount of nutrients that enter
aquatic environments from waste water disposal. Nutrients are not pollutants in the
normal use of the term They occur naturally and are essential to life.
Problems arise when excessive amounts of particular nutrients are present in
effluent released to lakes. Excessive nutrients can lead to conditions where the
amount of dissolved oxygen in the water is reduced so much that aquatic life dies.
Excess nutrients can result in water bodies that are aesthetically unpleasant and
even dangerous for human consumption
As cases of accelerated eutrophication were first recognized 50 years ago, it
became apparent that excess nutrients were the main cause. There was also
consensus that nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic carbon were the main nutrients of
concern. One of the more readily identifiable sources of these elements was waste
water discharge.
Nutrients from Septic Systems
Nutrients arrive through our septic systems processing waste water. Additional
nutrients are made available from dishwasher soaps, some laundry detergents, and
other products. Additional nutrients are delivered by runoff or ground water carrying
residential fertilizers. These nutrients pose a threat to aquatic life through nutrient
overload
All organisms have similar basic requirements: elements that provide material for
building tissue and energy for maintaining life. Each organism requires a slightly
different set of nutrients, but all share certain basic requirements. These nutrients
are categorized as major constituents, macro nutrients, and micro nutrients.
Gardeners will recognize these terms and categories from description of
requirements for fertilizer needs.
Nutrients and Algae
In a body of water there may be a number of limiting factors that control the growth
of a variety of life forms. In the lake, the absence of even one micro nutrient from a
combination can inhibit growth for a life form. In fresh water areas, phosphorus (as
phosphate) is usually the limiting factor. Algae blooms and other undesirable
conditions are kept in check as long as phosphate levels are not excessive. In
marine waters, nitrogen (as nitrate or ammonium) is usually the limiting factor.
If human activity, such as waste water disposal, supplies an abundance of limiting
nutrients to a body of water, certain life forms can burst with growth to such degrees
that they threaten other aquatic life.
11
MORE WISE ADVICE
1. Keep a wide border of trees and shrubs between your lawn and the lake.
2. It is important to have as many trees and shrubs on your property as feasible –
except over your septic system. This is the area for grass or shallow routed
shrubs.
3. Don’t put high maintenance gardens that need composting or fertilizing near the
lake.
4. Keep slopes planted to prevent soil erosion.
5. Limit the size of your paved areas. Root systems are needed.
6. Protect your septic system, tank and field, from accidental car traffic and heavy
equipment.
7. Clean up after your pets.

water and accelerates its
aging through the rapid growth of algae bloom. This blocks sunlight and kills other
aquatic plants and, eventually, leads to lower levels of oxygen in the water. The
subsequent lack of oxygen can harm or kill fish and other aquatic life.
Major source of overfertilization: human activity.
1.
The principal dangers to a lake are pollution by waste water, treated or
untreated, which contains coliforms (fecal material) and phosphates (e.g. many soap
products, dishwasher and laundry detergents, and shampoos, can be high in
phosphates)
Coliform:
Bacteria in the septic tank start the break down of fecal material. It is
important to follow pumping regulations to avoid a build-up of solids which would
overflow into your secondary treatment system, the drainage field.
Phosphates: A septic system which conforms to provincial norms can only eliminate
20% of phosphates.
Established trees and shrubs absorb phosphates before they drain into the lake.
Effectiveness rating - 60 to 90%.
2.
Erosion is often caused by denuding the lake frontage and our treatment of
the shoreline near the lake. It is important to maintain the integrity of the shore and
restore those sections that have been degraded.
Reminder: Eco-Guide's 1996 study of the Lake Louisa drainage basin noted that
67% of waterfront properties had lawns too close to the lake.
It was recommended not to cut lawns closer than
9 meters from the shore with a slope of more than 20 degrees
5 to 6 meters from the shore for a slope of 10 to 20 degrees
3 meters from the shore for a slope of less than 10 degrees.
It was noted that 40% of waterfront lots on Louisa have a slope greater than 20
degrees.
13
Other recommendations:
do not use fertilizers or herbicides.
Collect campfire ashes to dispose of them in areas where they cannot drain
into the lake.
Store petroleum products away from the lake.
On each lot the risks of different pollutants reaching the lake vary according to
slope,
the type of soil,
the presence or absence of an adequate band of shoreline vegetation
(minimum 3 meters) at the shore. Examples: wild flowers, shrubs, grasses,
thickets, and trees.
Be very cautious using bleach products like Javel water (chlorine) with a septic
system; strong solutions kill bacteria. Bacteria are essential to the treatment of the
fecal material in your septic system. Commercial drain openers are even more
deadly (0.66 oz. or 20 grams can destroy the bacteria in a I,000 gallon septic tank.)
The tank will recover but, until it does, untreated wastewater is flowing into your
weeping bed.
Winter: Do you winterize your cottage? Use plumbing antifreeze, not automobile
antifreeze, in the toilet and drains.
It has been demonstrated that the best way to improve the ecological effectiveness
of your septic system is to plant trees, shrubs, and perennials between your
drainage field and the Iake (not over the treatment field, but beyond the field between it and the lake.) Year after year as the plants multiply, the effectiveness of
their root systems will increase.
Happy planting!
Reminder: Each year the environment committee of your association organizes a
Planting Day.-. Volunteers,-, are always needed.

MUNICIPAL BY-LAWS FOR SHORELINE PROPERTIES
These by-laws conform with Provincial regulations. Their purpose is to protect the
waters of Lake Louisa from destruction of the shoreline and littoral as cottages
multiply
A RECOMMENDED GUIDE LINE FOR ALL OUR ACTIONS AROUND LAKE
LOUISA QUOTED FROM WENTWORTH MUNICIPAL BY-LAW 6.1.3.
IN ALL CASES, priority must be given to the technique, which will facilitate the
protection of the natural habitat or facilitate the eventual regrowth of natural
habitat.
Zoning By-law 32 has several articles concerning the shores of creeks, the littoral
of lakes, and other watercourses.
Here is a summary of some of the articles that affect most of us at Louisa.
Construction and Work in the Protection Zone
10 meters inland from the high water mark.
When the slope of the shoreline is less than thirty- percent (30°) the natural
vegetation must be maintained. However, an opening of 5 meters (16 feet) in width
is permitted to give access to the lake.
15 meters inland from the high water mark.
When the slope of the shoreline is superior to thirty percent (30º) the natural
vegetation must be maintained. However, in this case the maximum opening of 5
meters 16(feet) for access to the lake or watercourse also includes cutting of trees or
shrubs to permit a path to give access to the lake.
A stairway to give access to the water must not alter the topography of the land (no
back-filling or dredging) and leave space to allow the growth of natural vegetation to
ensure stabilization of the soil.
A wooden deck is permitted in the 5 meter opening giving access to the lake
provided that it does not alter the topography of the land (no back-fill or dredging)
and a space is left between the ground and the platform to permit the growth of
natural vegetation.
It is forbidden to pour concrete (cement) in the shoreline protection zone.
The use of machinery is forbidden in the shoreline protection zone, except for
authorized works such as water pipe or municipal works, Such work, when
approved, must be done with as little disturbance as possible to the shoreline. After
the work is completed, the shoreline must be restored to its natural vegetative state.
Machinery is forbidden in the littoral.
All wharves, boat shelters, boat landings must be constructed on posts, floating
platforms or suspended and must not exceed 20 m² (215 ft²). Only one boat shelter
per lot. When permission is granted to build two wharves or boat shelters, the
combined area of the two cannot exceed 20 m² (215ft²). Your municipal inspector
may have wharf plans available.
The area of a wharf or landing deck can be increased to over 20 m² (215 ft²) without
exceeding 1.8 meters( 6 feet) in width to reach a depth of water of 1 meter (3 feet)
15
measured on June 15th of the year. The property owner must request an occupation
certificate (lease) from the Ministry of the Environment.
Humid environments such as swamps, marshes, wetlands, mud ponds – any area
covered by shallow water or with underground water at or near the surface – are
protected areas. No construction, no septic installation is authorized in a humid
environment. No backfill, dredging, or filling of any kind is permitted.
Green Space. Sixty percent (60%) of the total area of a lot or piece of land must
remain in its natural state. Lawns and gardens are not included in this calculation of
natural habitat.
Septic systems, holding tanks, outhouses and other systems, such as those used
for islands are regulated by provincial law. Ask your municipal inspector. Don’t
forget: septic tank clean out is required by law.
Permanent resident -
every two years
Seasonal resident every four years
Holding tanks
before overflowing
Pesticides Spraying pesticides is forbidden except for special purposes. Ask your
municipal inspector.
Always call your municipal inspector before starting your project. There are
heavy fines applicable to those who break the by-laws, even inadvertently.
Do not accept word of mouth or interpretation of by-laws from a real estate agent,
contractor, builder, wood cutter, garden landscaper, general worker, neighbor, friend
etc. Contact your municipal inspector for information.
Acquired Rights. Residents who own property with buildings, docks, wharves, etc.
constructed prior to August 1990 have what is called acquired rights. In short, if
these buildings or properties do not conform to the laws brought into force August
1990, because they were acquired prior to that date, they can be left intact, or can
be repaired, but they cannot be added to or changed unless addition or change
conforms to the new regulations. This will be determined by the municipal inspector
in accordance with the new regulations.
Minor Derogation. In some cases, a property owner can apply to the Municipality
for a minor derogation – Town Planning By-Law 35.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO BURN
WENTWORTH FIRE PERMITS REPLACED BY A NOTICE OF INTENT TO BURN,
REPLACING BY-LAWS 86-25 AND 25-A
It is important to note that a new by-law No 60 has become effective from April 1st to
November 30 replacing by-laws 86-25 and 25-A which heretofore required a permit
to burn. The permit to burn is replaced by an advance notice of intent to burn.
Anyone wishing to set an EXTERIOR FIRE must advise the Municipality in advance
during working hours by telephoning 562-0701. At night or on weekends the person
must also advise the Municipality by leaving on the answering service, their name,
address, telephone number, date and when and where they intend to set the fire.
The message will be registered and kept on file. If a blanket no burning ban has
been imposed this information will be on tape at night and on week-ends and from
the office during regular working hours.
In the past exterior fires set by people have gotten out of control necessitating the
intervention of the Fire Department. The new by-law makes
it very clear that any person lighting an EXTERIOR FIRE
is totally responsible for any and all damages incurred
from this act and failing advance notification can be
subject to a fine up to $300.00
It is important that we all be aware of this new
requirement ensuring that no exterior fire be left
unattended and that the fire is completely extinguished
before leaving the site. It is in the interest of all to be aware
of the dangers from setting exterior fires and we must practice
safety at all times
17
BEAVERS
(Castor canadensis)
Many Lake Louisa residents have lost trees and shrubs in recent years to hungry
beavers. This information sheet will serve to give some information for protecting
health and property against our national rodent.
Beavers live in colonies of 4 to 8 related individuals although colonies as large as 12
have been reported. The mature female of the colony produces a litter of young
once a year, in the spring, usually 2-4 sometimes as many as 8. The young mature
in approximately two years. At maturity a beaver can reach a length of 1.3 meters
and weigh up to 32 kg. They stay with the parents until two to three years of age.
Then they leave to find mates and suitable building sites for dams and a lodge. They
may travel as far as 250 kilometers during this time.
During the summer the beaver feeds on grasses, herbs, the leaves of woody plants,
fruits and aquatic plants. The fall of the year results in most of the damage to trees
along the lakeshore. This is when the beaver start to gather branches and twigs to
stockpile underwater near the lodge for a winter food supply. Trees and branches
are cut into short lengths, the preferred trees being aspen, poplar, willow and birch.
As trees are used up close to the water’s edge beavers may travel 125 meters or
more inshore to find more food.
According to the National Wildlife Service, a study in 1980 showed that the beaver
population was nearing the
carrying capacity for the available
habitat. Another trend in
the 1980's was the “Green”
movement anti-fur
campaign. The resulting
drop in demand for furs
meant less beavers
were being trapped.
Natural predators that
would normally help to
control the beaver
population are
wolves, coyotes,
bears,
lynx and wolverines.
There
are very few, if any, of
these
animals around Lake
Louisa. This helps
to explain why, in the
1990's, there seems to be a sudden increase in the population of beavers in Lake
Louisa.
To protect trees and shrubs it is advised to wrap the bottom three feet of appealing
trees with a close mesh wire or hardware cloth. If the beavers continue to damage
trees a licenced trapper may be brought in to trap them (for a fee). Conservation
authorities prefer live trapping and relocation of offending beavers, however with the
dramatic increase in beaver population throughout eastern Canada there are few
areas to which they can be relocated. Therefore the licenced trapper may trap the
offending beavers out of season.
The municipality will pay a trapper to keep municipal culverts, drains and ditches
clear of beaver dams but will assume no responsibility for the beavers in Lake
Louisa. The property owner must make the arrangements with the trapper.
Mr.James Lees is a licenced trapper within our municipality. He may be contacted at
450-562-6168.
18
NOTE: Under the new municipal by-law, a property owner is responsible for
damages if a beaver dam on their property causes damage to a neighbouring
property.
The beaver also carries a protozoan parasite called Giardia lamblia in its feces
(also found in the feces of muskrats, dogs, and humans). In humans this parasite
causes giardiasis. This disease is characterized by chronic diarrhea, loss of
appetite, abdominal cramps, fatigue and weight loss. It can be treated, once
diagnosed, by antibiotics. There have been numerous cases of Giardiasis
diagnosed on Lake Louisa.
Residents should not be using untreated lake water for drinking, brushing
teeth, food preparation or washing dishes. Water should be boiled, filtered or
treated with bleach.
Water that is boiled for at least 1 minute will destroy the Giardia cyst.
Bleach may not be entirely effective if the water temperature is cold. With
water at room temperature (20C) add 2 drops of bleach per liter of water, stir,
let stand 30 minutes. Check for an odor of bleach. If none, repeat dosage and
let stand an additional 15 minutes before using.
Water filters must have a pore size smaller that 0.2 microns to prevent the
passage of biological contamination. Unfortunately filters this small tend to
clog up quickly in untreated water.

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
In May 1996 a few concerned residents of Lake Louisa attended a meeting of the
Dunany Neighborhood Watch. The Quebec Provincial Police were in attendance and
the program was explained.
The Lake Louisa Neighborhood Watch Program, as we know it now, came into being
in January 1997.
What Is A Neighborhood Watch Program?
This program is the coming together of citizens who,
with the collaboration of their local police service, are
determined to put into place steps necessary to reduce
the risk of thefts through breaking and entering. It does
this by organizing the residents of their district in a
manner, which allows them to take greater
responsibility for improving their quality of life and sense
of security.
Our Watch Program falls under the Lake Louisa
Property Owners Association (LLPOA). We now have
13 "Watch Captains" participating. Our group has
supplied all residents of Lake Louisa (or as many as
possible) with pamphlets and stickers explaining the program. Through the LLPOA
newsletters we have also listed tips for residents to better protect themselves.
Neighborhood Watch does not replace the 911 Service now available at the lake but
rather should be used for non-emergency situations. We have a telephone fan out
list in place and can notify several people around the lake in a matter of minutes.
This can be useful for tracking suspicious vehicles, persons, etc. It also enables us
to alert others to help identify stolen property that could show up around the lake.
Since its inception Watch members have been involved in at least 15 incidents
which involved break-ins, theft of motors, suspicious vehicles and persons. The
Provincial Police have informed us that the number of break-ins at Lake Louisa has
steadily dropped since 1997.
January 1997 – June 1997
January 1998 - June 1998
9 break-ins
3 break-ins
We like to think that our Neighborhood Watch Program has contributed to this
decrease.

FISH REPLENISHMENT PROGRAM
The 1998 fish replenishment program was quite successful and 2,000 Grey Trout
fingerlings were added to the lake. Photographs taken when the fish were added to
the lake along with a write up by Mary Anne Armstrong have been posted at the club
house for all to see. This year we hope more people, particularly children, will come
and enjoy the action.
The contribution total was
$2,915. with total costs of
$2,050., leaving us with $865.
now deposited in the bank
identified as fish fund.
There has been considerable
discussion with the biologists at
St. Agathe and with at least two
hatcheries knowledgeable about
the feeding grounds in Lake
Louisa and its ability to support a
certain level of fish population.
Based on these discussions it is
judged that an addition of 1,200 fingerlings per year for the next four years is a
reasonable target to maintain and hopefully increase the fish population.
It would be most useful if the
"catch" numbers could be gathered
on a yearly basis in order that a
better measure of the numbers for
replenishment could be analyzed.
The association working with a
number of local fishermen will
discuss how this can be
accomplished.
It is necessary to place orders for
fish one year in advance to
guarantee delivery. An order for
1,200 Grey Trout has been placed with Val Des Bois hatchery for a delivery date in
September.1999 We will ask for delivery on a Saturday.
The need for contributions will continue if the program is to continue and we hope
there will be the same generous effort similar to last year.

SAFE BOATING
As you are probably aware, the Canadian Coast Guard under Fisheries and Oceans
Canada has issued new regulations regarding all types of recreational watercraft.
Generally, the following are new safety regulations and apply to all craft (includes
non-motorized i.e. sailboards, paddleboats, canoes, rowboats, etc.) effective 1 APR
99.
All craft must have:
A Canadian approved personal floatation device or life jacket of appropriate size for
each person on board. (NOTE THAT LIFE SAVING CUSHIONS WILL NO LONGER
BE APPROVED AS PERSONAL FLOTATION EQUIPMENT.)
One buoyant heaving line of not less than 15m in length.
A watertight flashlight or 3 Canadian approved flares of type A, B, or C.
A soundsignalling device or a soundsignalling appliance.
Many exceptions apply and one should obtain the "Safe Boating Guide". This
booklet can be obtained at Canada Customs Offices, Canadian Coast Guard Offices
or by phoning 1-800-267-6687. They are also on the Internet at www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca
The Lake Louisa Property Owners Association has obtained copies of this "Guide"
and will distribute them around the lake.
In addition to the new MINIMUM SAFETY REQUIREMENTS, the new legislation
also provides for Recreational Boat Operators Competency as well as AGE AND
HORSEPOWER RESRTRICTIONS.
The following hi-lites the new Competency requirements.
As of 15 SEP 1999, operators under 16 years of age (as of 1 APR 99) will require
"proof of operator competency".
As of 15 SEP 2002, this requirement will be extended to the operators of all power
driven pleasure craft used for recreational purposes less than 4metres in length as
well as all Personal Watercraft (PWCs) and;
As of 15 SEP 2009, proof of competency will be required for all power driven
pleasure craft used for recreational purposes.
Proof of competency can take 1 of 3 forms:
Proof of having taken a boating safety course prior to 1APR 99;
A pleasure craft operator card from a Canadian Coast Guard accredited course,
provided following a test;
A completed rental-boat safety checklist, (for power-driven rental boats).
The operator card is good for life. Boaters can obtain their card after receiving a
mark of at least 75% on a Canadian Coast Guard accredited test after having
completed an accredited course. Boaters also have the option of taking this test
without first completing a course.
The following hi-lites the AGE AND HORSEPOWER RESTRICTIONS effective 1
APR 1999:
22
Children under 12 years of age will not be permitted to operate boats above 10 h.p.
unless accompanied by a person 16 years or older;
Youth at least 12 years of age, but not over 16 years of age, will not be permitted to
operate boats above 40 h.p. for recreational purpose unless accompanied by an
individual 16 years of age or older; and,
ONLY PERSONS 16 AND OLDER WILL BE PERMITTED TO OPERATE
PERSONAL WATERCRAFT.
The rules governing water skiing, under the Small Vessel Regulations, have been
expanded to cover other towing activities such as barefoot skiing, tubing,
kneeboarding, and parasailing. The previously existing requirement to have a spotter
remains.
The following new rules have been added;
(a) There must be a seat available for each person being towed in case recovery is
necessary. ONLY PERSONAL WATERCRAFT DESIGNED TO CARRY 3 OR
MORE PEOPLE CAN BE USED FOR TOWING WATER SKIERS.
(b) Towing activities are not allowed in the period from one hour after sunset to
sunrise.
We urge all boaters to become familiar with these new regulations. They are
designed for the SAFETY OF ALL.

ORGANIZATIONS SERVING THE LAKE
Jurisdictions
Lake Louisa lies within two regional jurisdictions. Most of the lake is in the MRC
d'Argenteuil but a small part, the Black Bay portion, is in the MRC des Pays d'en
Haut. MRC stands for Municipalitie Regionale de Comte.
This means that we deal with two different municipal governments on matters that
affect our lake. For the most part it will be the Municipality of Wentworth located on
Louisa Road, but for the Black Bay area it is the Municipality of Wentworth North
located in Laurel. The phone number for Wentworth is 450-562-0701, and for
Wentworth North is 1-800-770-2416.
Lake Louisa Corporation - Lake Louisa Social Club
The clubhouse and property on Louisa Road South is owned by shareholders who
are, or have been, connected with Lake Louisa in some way. The Corporation
leases the facilities to the Lake Louisa Social Club (LLSC).
During the summer months the LLSC facilities are available to members who pay
annual fees and who may avail themselves of swimning, tennis, and other activities.
This arrangement between the Corporation and the Club started in 1945 and
continues to work to the benefit of residents. Contacts for these organizations are:
Corporation - Richard Lauzon - 533 6267 and LLSC - Kenda Palmer 533 6962
Lake Louisa Property Owners Association
This organization, formed in 1997, incorporates the former Lake Louisa
Environmental Protection Association (LLEPA). Its mission is to continue and
enhance the work of the highly successful (LLEPA) and to act for property owners
on other matters of common interest such as public security, boating safety and fish
stocking. The association will continue to emphasize the important part that
everyone can play in maintaining the quality of the lake water. Contact is Herb
Montgomery- 533 4102.
Wentworth Receative Centre (WRC)
Located at 86 Louisa Road the Centre was founded in 1977 to create and promote
recreational activities in Wentworth. Run entirely by volunteers, they are assisted by
an annual donation from the Municipality to defray the cost of an outdoor skating
rink. As one of its main activities the WRC hosts the annual music festival. Contact is
Armelle Foisy - 562 6460.
24
Churches
St. Aidans Anglican Church
The church is located at 86 Louisa Road and is part of the Parish of Lakefield - Mille
Isles. The building was constructed in 1893 and the church was consecrated in
1895. Regular Sunday morning services are held throughout the year. The
incumbent priest is Reverend John C. T. Johnson - 562 7677
Notre Dame du Sourire
This Roman Catholic chapel on Louisa Road South is close to the Clubhouse and
offers mass on Saturday afternoons at 5:00 p.m. during the summer months. The
priest in charge is Walter Van As at 533 6314. For information at the lake please
contact, Richard Lauzon at 533-6267.
St. Michel de Wentworth
Located in St. Michel at 6650 Main Street this is the closest Roman Catholic church
to the Black Bay area of Lake Louisa. The priest in charge is Walter Van As at 5336314.
