The McKenzie Lake Plan (or Stewardship Plan) Vision and Values

2.1.1 McKLPOA recognizes that if every person in the McKLPOA community acts as a steward, our lake and watershed treasure can be preserved and maintained.

As stewards we will act conscientiously to promote:

• Heathy water quality;
• Rich fish and wildlife habitats;
• Responsible recreational enjoyment;
• Environmentally sustainable development and property maintenance;
• A friendly and open attitude towards neighbours and community; and
• Peaceful enjoyment of the lake and area for each resident maintained for present and future generations.

2.1.2  A vision statement provides guidance for what the lake should be and look like in the future. It describes a common objective that is important to all community members. The following Vision Statement reflects the values and vision that McKLPOA members share.

The McKenzie Lake area is a place where water quality, wildlife, habitat, natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and peaceful tranquility are conserved and improved in perpetuity for all human and wildlife generations to come.
