les algues bleues - an expanding threat?
e-coli - a recurring threat?
--Ancient Indian Proverb
“When all the trees have been cut down,
when all the animals have been hunted,
when all the waters are polluted,
when all the air is unsafe to breathe,
only then will you discover you cannot eat money.”
--Cree prophecy
Lac Simon is a magnificent lake in the Outaouais region of Quebec. This blog, coupled with on the ground activism and online advocacy, is an attempt to help safeguard our beautiful lake. "No Lake is an Island" Save Lac Simon Secours!
Like many lakes across Quebec, Lac Simon faces many concerns: blue-green algae; E Coli; ineffective septic systems; excessive lake front development; and increased boat traffic. The blog is a collection of articles from the Local Press that discusses the environment with special focus on water quality. The blog includes a Lac Simon Photo Gallery, sometimes accompanied by Letters. It will be sparkled with Go Green hints and Videos. The global perspective will be described in World View. Part informative, part activist but always progressive. The goal is to empower citizens to change lake culture and thus safeguard Lac Simon for future generations. Indeed, the prime culprits of lake pollution are property owners. However responsibility rests not only with residents but also with municipal & provincial governments. Too often municipal councils hide behind the tired & shameful "droit aquis" or look the other way. Moreover, citizens & all 3 levels of government must adhere to the principle: Responsibility to Protect. Our lake is indeed magnificent. Our children deserve our energy. Enjoy.
