Formerly the Hotel Lake Water Conservation Association, AAQWA formed in 2003 to ensure provision of safe and ample drinking water for residents. Membership is free. The AGM is held in August.
Bear Bay Stewardship Alliance
The Bear Bay Stewardship Alliance (BBSA) formed in 2007 to prevent logging north of Bear Bay Road, citing concerns about the loss of recreational assets, an existing trail and potential future trails, harm to the tourism industry and Sakinaw Lake sockeye, degrading of shallow water wells and danger from logging trucks on Bear Bay Road. Their spokesman is Ryan Logtenberg.
Egmont Logging Advisory Committee
Partially in response to the Friends of Egmont’s Save Our Watershed campaign, Regional Director John Rees facilitated formation an advisory committee to work with Tsain-Ko Development Corporation in the hope of controlling upcoming logging in the area. The group hopes to change logging practices and pressure the provincial government to further restrict activity in watersheds. The committee, formed in Aug. 2007, is made up of Egmont and Ruby Lake residents George Connell, Ron Fearn, Kim Foster, Doug Imbeau, Norma Martin, Catherine McEachern, Martin Mees and Marueen (Griffith) Parrott.
