The Big Dig

The lake restoration project has been underway for about a month now. Here are some photos I took yesterday, 1 August, 2011.

Looks a mess, huh? Well, things will soon get better.

    So the residents are making a lake? We have several thousand up here and would be delighted to sell you a small, medium or even a rather large one. Of course, and sale would be FOB Prince George, but we can arrange rail transportation...

    No, Willow, we are RE-making the lake. Dredging and reinforcing the berms. The lake has been here since the 1930s. So thank you very much, but hang onto your Canadian water, you may need it in the future.
