Columbia Lake Management Plan

The Columbia Lake Management Strategy adopted in 1997 is being updated. The Columbia Lake Management Plan will be developed through a collaborative process involving public engagement and input from a technical committee. The Columbia Lake Management Plan will help guide local government decisions related to Columbia Lake and is anticipated to be adopted by both the RDEK and Village of Canal Flats.

The planning process will identify and analyze ecological, cultural, and recreational values and concerns associated with Columbia Lake and develop management strategies to address concerns and leverage opportunities.

Recognizing that the diverse and seasonal population of the Columbia Lake area, the use of online public engagement opportunities to compliment in person engagement was contemplated from the outset. Plans for an in person engagement opportunity this spring have been cancelled, but by using the tools available on this online platform, we hope to deliver a workshop experience similar to what you would have experienced in person.
