Lake Lisgar Revitalization Project

In September of 2011, a group of concerned citizens joined forces to work voluntarily toward the common goal of reducing sedimentation at the north end of Lake Lisgar, thereby improving water quality and flow in the Lake’s watershed; controlling weed growth at the north end of the Lake; installing new aeration systems; protecting 4 endangered species of turtles; maintaining habitat for over 400 species of birds; and improving recreational facilities for Tillsonburg’s citizens. As a committee, we wished to save our Lake and its environs by acting promptly to rectify the threatening issues, thereby preserving Lake Lisgar’s heritage as a wildlife habitat and recreational facility for generations to come.
