The Baptiste Lake Association is a voluntary group of members committed to representing the interests of the residents of the Baptiste Lake area. The Association works closely with residents as well as all levels of government to conserve and enhance the environment of the lake and its surrounding area. The initial association was founded in 1949....

The Mission is to be achieved through the observance of the following goals and objectives:

• To monitor water levels and quality on an ongoing basis.
• To actively promote land use planning policies and programs for the lake which have a long range vision, and help retain the character of the lake.
• To promote water and boating safety.
• To inform lake residents about official plans, by-laws and building codes affecting their property.
• To inform lake residents about government action which affects them.
• To educate lake residents and others about the environmental impact of their actions.
• To maintain membership in FOCA, BACA and other non-profit organizations dedicated to the cause of conservation.
• To promote a sense of community among the lake residents through the support of social events.
• To promote fire safety and prevention.
• To promote, maintain and support links with the surrounding community.

We have spoken to contacts at the MNRF in Bancroft and they have advised that the appearance of leaks on the overflow weir portion of the dam is simply water deflecting off imperfections on the weir as it flows overtop. When water is not flowing over the overflow weir the appearance of leaks disappears.

 

Issues with the BLA website, reported earlier this month, have been resolved.

It's that time again!
Join us at Birch Cliff Lodge on May 18th, 2025 from 5 to 7 pm to meet and greet friends and neighbours and kick off another fantastic season at Baptiste Lake!
