If you have a buoy on Shuswap or Mara Lake that has been tagged as non-compliant by Transport Canada, you may want to take action before October 21, 2019. 
In an ongoing effort to clean up the spread of non-compliant buoys in the Shuswap, staff from Transport Canada will be in the region the week of October 21 to 25 to conduct an enforcement effort. This will involve the removal of buoys previously tagged as non-compliant earlier in the year.
The maximum size for docks on a number of Shuswap-area lakes has been increased by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) and the new regulations are now in effect.
The lakes affected by the bylaw change include: Humamilt Lake, Hunakwa Lake, Little White Lake, Shuswap Lake, White Lake, and portions of Adams and Mara Lakes.
Trails at Sicamous Creek Falls will be closed indefinitely following a fatal accident that took place July 29.
