Powerboats and loons don't mix - Chris Nash

With a really long Canada Day weekend, power boaters and watercraft riders will be out on the lakes. As the waves hit the shorelines, unfortunately the loon chicks will get washed off their nests. At this stage they can't swim and they drown.

Please, resist the urge to speed. Slow down and enjoy the quiet of the lake. We love the call of the loons. Let's take care to let them live to make the sounds of the north once more.
