Your Lake, Your Views
Fourth Safe Quiet Lakes Survey Coming Soon
The next Safe Quiet Lakes Survey is coming soon. It will be the fourth such survey (once every 4 years). Last time Safe Quiet Lakes had over 6,000 responses and many were from LOBA members. This fantastic participation tells us that our members are deeply engaged in their lake and boating experiences. Other areas surveyed included Georgian Bay, Lakes Muskoka, Joseph and Rousseau and others. Haliburton will be added in this year’s survey. In fact, this lake resident survey is the largest survey of its kind in North America.
The survey, which is being conducted by Earnscliffe Strategies this time, looks at top pleasures of the lake experience, boating use and behaviour, the quality of the lake experience, what’s changing about the lake experience, what the top concerns are and what people think solutions might be.
Many of the questions are the same as last time. This will provide important information about whether things have changed for better or worse in our lake communities. Results will be used to inform municipal governments, lake associations and for policy development with all levels of government.
Our lake communities are changing -- and it’s important for our members to share what they value and what worries them.
Be on the lookout for a link to this important SQL survey in June! You can learn more about the last survey on the Safe Quiet Lakes website.
And you can read Lake of Bays specific results from the 2021 survey which we published in the Spring 2022 Current Connection newsletter.
