Our interns are now on their way!
Job offer: Boat washing station
We are still looking for our next boat washing station attendant in North Hatley for summer 2025. We’re seeking motivated individuals who care deeply about lake health. If you or someone you know is interested in this opportunity to work outdoors and contribute to the protection of our lake’s water quality, please contact our general director to learn more.
Equipped to better protect Lake Massawppi
Last Thursday, our internal team visited the offices of the Quebec-based company Ozero to get up to date on the best practices for watercraft cleaning. Thanks to this collaboration with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, we had the opportunity to test the brand-new self-serve washing station model. It allows everyone—from first-time boaters to seasoned wakeboard boat owners to clean their watercraft effectively and enter a body of water without the risk of spreading invasive species. Starting in May, we’ll be ready to welcome you at the washing stations and support you in taking the small but essential steps that help protect the health of our lake.
Our interns are on their way!
With the end of April quickly approaching, Bleu Massawippi is getting ready to welcome its summer 2025 interns. You’ll likely see some new faces around boat launch areas, at farmers’ markets, or visiting day camps. Don’t hesitate to say hello, ask questions, or share stories and opinions about your experience on or around the lake. We’ll be happy to chat and keep the conversation going!
Quick glance at our wildlife
After a long winter break, wildlife is slowly starting to poke its nose (or beak) back out—just like these nature capsules, which are now making their return! Pictured here is a Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus). This species, well known among hunters, appears in five different color phases, often depending on the tree species found in its forest habitat. These include grey, brown, red, intermediate, and mixed morphs. Can you tell which coloration this one has?
Though very discreet when still, these birds often go unnoticed by most hikers—until they suddenly take flight with a deep, startling wingbeat that might just make you jump!
