Proposed toll booth on Keeley Lake not advised: Ministry of Environment
The Ministry of Environment is warning the Canoe Lake Cree Nation about erecting a toll booth for public access to Keeley Lake.
A fee is being proposed for anglers as there is a dispute about over harvesting on the Lake with the Canoe Lake Fisherman’s Cooperative.
“The Ministry recognizes the importance of the commercial fishery to the fishers of the Canoe Lake Cree First Nation, however the continued failure of the cooperative to control harvest and remain within the annual quota is putting the sustainability of Keeley Lake at risk,” said Environment Minister Warren Kaeding in letter to the First Nation.
