As you probably are aware, Drag/Spruce Lakes are part of the Trent-Severn Waterway water management system. TSW, as part of Parks Canada, manages our water levels via their dam at our outlet. To advocate for our interests in how the water is managed, DSLPOA is a member of CEWF - see below for a description of its mandate.
If you would like to understand a little more about how this works, tune in to the CEWF ACM - see below.
To familiarize yourself with the water management topic, here's a little background information (available from our website):
