Our Society was formed in 1998 to assist with sampling of the lake in partnership with Alberta Environment. We continue to be active in sampling and this year assisted or carried out series of samplings of the lake water and two of the Blindman Diversion.
The Society endeavors to maintain membership from all areas of the lake and maintain a board of directors that has members from every significant area. At present we have active members from Parkland, Sunnyside, Birch bay, Summer Village of Gull Lake, Wilsons beach, the surrounding agricultural Community and Meridian Beach. There were 28 members at our last annual meeting held at the Summer Village of Gull Lake in September of 2010.
“Our mission is to contribute to the preservation of Gull Lake and the area within its watershed as a continuing desirable recreation area and to assist in protecting the water quality of the lake in cooperation with residents of the watershed.”
“The Haynes aquifer is a regionally extensive body of sand that lies in the bottom part of the Paskapoo Formation. The isopach was created from the modeled results of the average sandiness of 25 m thick slices in boreholes completed within the Paskapoo Formation. Parts of the aquifer are as much as 100 m thick, particularly in the west near the deformation belt and in a region west of the city of Red Deer. The bulk of the unit averages about 50 m in thickness. “
The Paskapoo Formation is a massive formation of approx. 66,000 km2, 80% of the area of Lake Superior.

Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers! is a national campaign that helps recreational water users be part of the solution to help prevent and slow the spread of aquatic invasive species.
Recreational activities such as recreational boating, angling, waterfowl hunting, and diving may spread aquatic invasive species. Some aquatic invasive species can attach to boats, while others can become tangled on propellers, anchor lines, or boat trailers. Many species can survive in bilge water, ballast tanks, and motors or may hide in dirt or sand that clings to nets, buckets, anchors, and waders. Fortunately, completing simple steps can prevent the transport of aquatic invasive species. Remember to Clean, Drain, Dry… In every waterbody, every time.
