Local Environmentalist Slams WFO
Jim Cooperman of Shuswap Environmental Action Society (SEAS) has this to say. Contrary to his opinion, we are committed to working towards a cleaner, healthier lake, but unjustified modification of local beaches is not the way towards that....

Did you know...
  • An estimated 75% of waterfront owners are not full time residents of their waterfront properties and spend an average of only two months in the Shuswap
  • Most waterfront owners therefore are unaware of new developments which affect their properties or laws which are enacted without their knowledge or input
  • Actions taken in their absence may affect their riparian rights, their quality of vacationing life and their property values
  • Over $10 million dollars in property taxes are paid annually by waterfront property owners
 
Our Goal is to...
  • Represent all areas of the Shuswap, Mara and Little Shuswap
  • Be a strong and united voice to ensure that our rights be preserved and respected when dealing with government at all levels
  • Work constructively with government and other local groups to promote our views
  • Communicate monthly with members about important and upcoming issues relevant to Waterfront Owners
  • Provide timely discussions and the ability for all members to voice opinions on topics of interest in order to develop unified positions on issues
 
Our Mission Statement
To communicate with, and advocate for the rights of, waterfront property owners with the goal of protecting the lakeshore environment and fostering respect for, and quiet enjoyment of, all beachfront areas on the Shuswap and surrounding lakes.
 
New Waterfront Enforcement
SLIPP has arranged for compliance officers formerly working in forestry practices to be retrained for enforcement of Land and Water Act issues. These officers will be on the lake to educate and enforce breaches such as concrete boat ramps that do not have permits from Land and Water BC. SWOA members may be affected by this enforcement and we can be advocates for their rights. “If you are being approached by government officials who are instructing you to do something unreasonable contact SWOA as we have professionals who will voluntarily give you advice.”
