Blue Canoe

What is the Blue Canoe?

The Blue Canoe is a project run by Kawartha Conservation, designed to provide practical environmental information specific to homeowners and cottagers living along the shores of Lake Scugog.

Blue Canoe crew members visit Lake Scugog residents via canoe and vehicle throughout the summer months. They distribute information on the Lake Scugog Environmental Management Plan, shoreline naturalization, septic systems, grant programs for landowners, and more.

To learn more about what you can do to help the lake, refer to the Blue Canoe Checklist.
