Wake Enhanced Boating Restriction

Three Mile Lake is considering pursuing a federal Vessel Operation Restriction Regulation (VORR) with Transport Canada to prohibit wake-enhanced boating activities such as wake-surfing. Research and local observations show that these high-energy waves can resuspend nutrient-rich sediments, accelerate shoreline erosion, and contribute to conditions that favour harmful algae blooms. This initiative is not about restricting responsible boating—it is about protecting a highly sensitive lake using targeted, evidence-based measures.
