Bouchie Lake Stewardship CommitteeThe Bouchie Lake Stewardship Committee (BLSC) was formed 14 years ago by local residents concerned about the state of Bouchie Lake and the surrounding area. In 2008, there was a severe fish-kill in the lake due to an algal bloom and lake turn-over resulting in oxygen depletion. This created new motivation for the BLSC and residents to work together with provincial and local government as well as other stakeholders to prevent this from happening again.
The BLSC began formally working with Baker Creek Enhancement Society (BCES) in 2008. A series of community meetings with government, residents and stakeholders were held to address the issues in the watershed and possible solutions. Currently, a Watershed Management Plan is in development to address the issues and solutions in the Bouchie-Milburn Watershed.
