With the Canada Day long weekend a few days away boating season is in full-swing.  This sign from Greenwater Lake Provincial Park is a good reminder of an important rule on the water.  The high water levels this spring and high winds have undermined parts of the shoreline of Marean lake, and wakes from boats using excessive speed near shore only compound the problem.

Please remember to reduce speeds close to land as a courtesy to people on the shore and to prevent damage.
