We have launched a new app that allows members to pre-register guests and access their lake card on their phone!
A few important notes about the app:
Members are now able to rent out boats using the app.
Junior members who do not have a phone will still have to use their physical cards as the app is still in the development stages. We will let members know as soon as it is available for homeowners to have their children’s cards on their app.
For iPhone users: If your phone does not have IOS 17 installed, the app will not work.
To register your phone number, please stop by the office during office hours!

LBHA has been notified of members experiencing symptoms that are related to swimmer's itch.
Swimmers itch is a parasite that comes from birds and/or other animals and causes hive like itchy bumps on the human skin.
The LBHA employs several strategies to reduce instances like the current swimmer's itch concern that members are experiencing including scaring off waterfowl and, as per our Migratory Damage or Danger permit issued by Canadian Wildlife Service under the Migratory Bird Regulations, destroy eggs and nests in the spring. Early this season we collected 77 eggs and disturbed 17 nests to the point of destruction.
We also test our water weekly as regulated via Alberta Health Services. So far this season we have not failed testing thresholds. Four samples are taking weekly and results are coming back significantly below 1280 CCE per 100 mL which is deemed acceptable water quality by AHS. Please contact the office to request the full results.
Swimmers can also employ strategies to reduce the likelihood of contracting swimmer itch as well. This includes towel drying immediately upon exiting the water and then showering as soon as possible.
If requested, members can be sent the MSDS sheets for the different products we use in the lake. The newest additions to the lake water treatment program are microbes, selectively bred bacteria that help clear the water, consume excess nitrogen/phosphorous and reduce the muck on the lake bottom.
Please contact the office for any other concerns or questions.

Memo to the members of the LBHA
Attached is a link to a letter we have submitted to City Hall with respect to the proposed blanket rezoning changes currently under consideration by Council.
It should be noted that the LBHA is a not-for-profit corporation that exists to manage the lake property itself. We are not a community association, and we are not an advocacy group empowered to represent the individual property owners in the community.
Our view is that it is our elected representative – Councillor Peter Demong – who should be gathering feedback on these proposed changes and communicating them to City Council.
Notwithstanding the preceding, we do feel that the rush to implement this rezoning has failed to consider the impacts on unique facilities such as ours in terms of membership numbers, access, traffic and safety and we have made our submission to that effect.
In addition, the individual volunteer board members of the LBHA are all homeowners and in our discussions on this matter it was clear that each person was also planning to communicate their thoughts on this proposal through the various channels available.
We encourage all members to do the same at the link below.

LBHA has recently installed a bottom diffused aeration system in the lake to improve overall water quality.
Installed by LBHA staff, the new lake aerators will help reduce and prevent algae, and reduce rooted vegetation growth. Aeration also reduces sedimentation and muck accumulation, reduces odour from the water and increases water clarity.
The system uses a compressor to pump air into the bottom of the lake where it is broken up into tiny bubbles, visible on the lake surface. As these tiny bubbles rise, they pull water from the bottom of the lake to the surface where it is saturated with oxygen by the wind. This oxygen saturated water circulates to the bottom to replace the water being drawn to the surface by the bubbles. This restores oxygen levels to entire waterbody, and overtime improves fish stock and water quality.
To avoid damage, please do not swim, play or fish directly in the vicinity of the diffusers.
