Mandatory Washing of Boats Before Launching Across the Entire Territory.

Each time you visit a new body of water, it is mandatory to wash your boat and equipment at the washing station in order to preserve the quality of our lakes and rivers.

Any person who fails to comply with this obligation is liable to a fine of $500 to $2,000, imposed by the municipality.

The boat washing station is equipped with a printer that issues a receipt after a minimum of 5 minutes of water use, confirming that the washing has been completed. Don’t forget to press the button to activate the system before you begin and to collect your receipt once your washing is done.

When carrying out work, make sure to respect the Protective Shoreline, which varies in width from 10 to 15 meters depending on the slope of the land. The Protective Shoreline is crucial for protecting habitats as well as aquatic and terrestrial wildlife.

For more details, consult the zoning by-law.
