Boat Wash Station

In 2015, the municipality introduced a Boat Wash Station to protect water quality, following awareness-raising among citizens and elected representatives. Since then, it has kept abreast of progress in this area. In 2023, invasive aquatic species, such as the Chinese snapper, were detected in two lakes. The municipal council plans to modernize the facilities and modify the bylaws to prevent invasions and ensure the quality and safety of the water bodies in 2024, while maintaining the initial objectives.

Mandatory washing

To prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species, it is mandatory to wash your boat, its engine, its trailer and all accessories before launching it. Once your boat has been washed, you will receive a wash certificate. This certificate is valid only for the body of water of the request. Moving to another body of water involves obtaining a new access permit or washing certificate.

Any person who contravenes any of the provisions of the present By-Law is liable to a minimum fine of $1,000.
