On October 22, a hand full of residents met at the Lac des Roches Resort for the annual general meeting of Friends of Lac des Roches and Birch Lake society. While the meeting is a necessary formality, it provides an opportunity for members and guests to meet some of the executive and make enquiries about stewardship activities around the lake. Membership to the society is open to anyone although most of the members are residents, full and part-time at the lakes in the watershed. Although much of the stewardship work done by the society volunteers is posted on this website for all to see, paid members receive regular updates via email of activities, issues and concerns about the society, the lake and the community. New members are always welcome.
