The Toboggan Hill is now open for the season. 

The hill is located beside the north beach, on the other side of the bridge from the entrance. Sledding is only allowed on the Toboggan Hill (no sledding anywhere else in the park). No skis or snowboards are allowed on the Toboggan Hill. Helmets are highly recommended while tobogganing. 

Please do not sled onto the lake at this time.

The Top Rink is now open. Please read through the skating guidelines for this season before visiting the park. 

All skate changing will be taking place outside of the building, around the fire pit area. Once the lake opens for skating, you will be able to change your skates down there. This set up worked very well last season, and has worked well for other lake communities. When outside, please remember to social distance. Maximum group size for outdoors is 20, in accordance with the Government of Alberta restrictions. There are no further restrictions for our outside spaces. The firepit can be used. There will be hockey nets on the lake when it opens. 

Our building will be open for washroom use and to visit the office. Please do not linger inside the building or change your skates inside. Face coverings must be worn while inside and social distance must be kept. 

As the LBHA is not participating in the Restriction Exemption Program, no proof of vaccination is required at the lake.

Hello neighbours! In regards to the Alberta Government's announcement last week concerning new restrictions, and with the new City of Calgary's Vaccine Passport Bylaw, we would like to clarify a few things.

Lake Bonavista Homeowners Association Ltd. is not participating in the Restriction Exemption Program. We have checked with both the Province and City Bylaw, and we are not required to opt in to the program. Therefore we are following certain restrictions set forth by the government. There are no restrictions for outside in the park and lake area. For inside the building and washrooms, we require that everyone wear a face covering and that you social distance at all times from other households/cohorts. There is also a limit on the number of people inside the buildings at one time. Please read signs posted on the doors. These restrictions will not affect us much at this time of year. We will watch all restriction announcements and reevaluate as we get into our busier skating season.

Due to the current restrictions on social indoor gatherings, we will not be renting out the Bonavista Room for now.  The outdoor Niven area is available. 

Please feel free to contact us via email for questions or concerns office@lkbonavista.ca.

Reducing the Risk of Spreading Whirling Disease

Reducing the Risk of Spreading Whirling Disease
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency confirmed whirling disease,a fish disease that affects salmonoids,in Johnson Lake in Banff National Park.

Anglers,

boaters and recreational water users can help reduce the risk of spreading whirling disease. It can be transmitted through equipment used for swimming,paddling,boating,water pumping,and fishing,or through infected fish and fish parts. Never move live fish from one body of water to another (that is illegal in Alberta).

Please ensure that you clean and dry all equipment that came into contact with water and eliminate all water from equipment before transporting.

Thank you - LBHA
