Remember this sticker ?

Thank you Ron from the Bowman sector for sharing this piece of nostalgia. This sticker was used when the first association was created in th 80’s

In the Bowman sector:

We wish to thank the municipality of Bowman for the repair work at the boat launch and the «Base de plein-air Air-Eau-Bois» for the clean up in the sector in May. Sadly there are still trailers that are blocking private entries. No recycling effort was done as suggested by us in November. Considering the extreme proximity of the boat launch to local residents and the increasing number of users coming. We wish this problem to have a happy solution during this year. Presently, the blue and green containers are written with a marker for recycling (paper and plastics together??) but the above sign indicates « household garbage ». The «ben» is also used for garbage. Very confusing for all users!

The municipality of Denholm and Lac-Sainte-Marie have installed new direction signs for the Trans-Outaouais. We thank them for this since everyone knows how many tourists get lost on this road. Some  tourism information signs will be added by the end of the summer.

Nautical sports and boat launch entry:

Sadly, we have a problem with the present level of water in our lake! Technically, we are asking all members that have recreational crafts that create strong wakes such as high performance motors and those wishing to undertake nautical sports such as water skiing, wake boarding or others to check water level of the lake before and go out towards the lake preferably if they are line-ups of nautical sports activities in the Newton bay area by respect for others cottage owners. Also to watch your wake will entering the channel of the boat ramp in Bowman. Hydro-Québec’s website for the water level (please copy/paste) : http://www.cehq.gouv.qc.ca/suivihydro/graphique.asp?NoStation=040602
