Five good reasons to become a Scugog Lake Stewards’ member

  1. The health of Lake Scugog is integral to the health of the Scugog Township economy and to your pocket book whether you own shoreline property or live in a neighbourhood in the greater watershed. Without action to help the lake, that advantage could slip away.
  2. Our Lake is under new and pressing stress from invasive species, urban growth, climate change and more, and needs a strong voice in a complicated political and social field.
  3. The Scugog Lake Stewards have in-depth scientific knowledge of the lake and excellent partnerships to help add to that knowledge.
  4. For projects within our control, the Scugog Lake Stewards have an excellent history of project completion and communication.
  5. Most importantly, while there are multiple governmental agencies with jurisdiction over our lake and watershed, there is no other group that speaks specifically for Lake Scugog and for your interests.
