Maintenance at GSCA properties have started to transition to winter services, which means the removal of garbage receptacles, the removal of the dock at Arran Lake, as well as the closure of washroom facilities.
Gatehouse staff are also done for the season and some property gates will be closed, but we continue to welcome walk-in visitors. Parking fees can be made via MacKay Pay.
Please remember to pack out all garbage!
See our Explore Brochure for information on winter parking.
If you have any questions, please contact our office (519-376-3076)
Sarah Lavallee, a graduate student at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, under the supervision of Dr. Anna Majury. We are currently working on a research project associated with private groundwater drinking sources; i.e. well water. This project aims to understand knowledge regarding private well water use and stewardship, with the aim to develop a knowledge-based tool intended for use by private well owners and environmental specialists.
We are interested in surveying residents who have a well on their property. The survey is a collaboration between Queen’s University, McMaster University, Dublin Institute of Technology and Public Health Ontario. The information gathered from this survey will contribute to the research project titled, “Exploring, Developing and Evaluating Drinking Water Vulnerability Assessment Measures: Implications for rural Ontario communities using private groundwater drinking sources” (The “WELLness” Project).
Our research team is hoping to collaborate with your conservation authority in order to promote this survey through your website and/or contact lists with a link that will re-direct interested individuals to the survey. The survey will only take 10-12 minutes to complete.
You will find the link to the survey here:

The five-year update of Conservation Authority Watershed Report Cards rollout today, and the grades indicate that many of Ontario’s watersheds, particularly those in southern, more urban areas are stressed. In contrast, the local Grey Sauble watersheds scored very well, with most achieving a grade of Good to Excellent!
With Wiarton Willie’s prediction of 6 more weeks of winter, there is plenty of time to get outside and play in the snow at Bognor Marsh.
