Lake shore property owners take note EXETER - Although there may not be cause for extreme concern, Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Au- thority is monitoring the current water levels of- Lake Huron. Ac- cording to Environment Canada, Great Lakes water levels are ex- pected to' be very high this spring and summer. The last period of high water levels on the Great Lakes occurred in 1985-86 which resulted in serious shoreline flood and erosion damage. This may have a severe impact on the property owners of the shoreline municipalities. The ABCA will be providing the shore- line municipalities with local lake Grand Bend Golden Agers .GRAND BEND - Eighty-six Grand Bend Golden Agcrs met March -5 for their monthly luncheon meeting.

They will also is- sue shoreline Flood Advisory Bulletins and Flood Warning Bulle- tins as required. The Flood Warn- ing Bulletins will be issued when water levels and wind speeds reach a critical point. One of the key mandates of the Conservation Authorities is the im- plementation of the various aspects of the provincial shoreline manage- ment program at the field level. In the past this included carrying out preventative, protective and emer- gency response programs such as: hazard mapping, developing and maintaining pertinent flood, ero- sion, dynamic beach and shoreline rivironmental monitoring databas- es, the preparation of shoreline management plans, remedial works, acquisition, flood and storm warning, and public information and education activities. The responsibility for the implc-' mentation of these guidelines was given to the Conservation Authori- ties as a result of the high lake lev- els in 1985-1986. This recognizes the local knowledge, interests and concerns of each Conservation Au- thority along the • different shore- lines of the Great Lakes. 1t also rec- ANNOUNCEMENT Iloriron Pro Health Inc. is pleased to announce that KeIIy Munoz R.R.T. will he joining 'Horizon Pro Health as General Manager.
