The PLWA is a charitable, non-profit environmental advocacy group made up of a diverse membership of people who live, work and play in Pigeon Lake and its Watershed. 

The PLWA partners with individuals, groups and governments who are willing to step up because we are the stewards and together we can enhance the health of the watershed and lake... our special place.

When it Comes to Water We're All Connected

• PLWA was chosen by the Alberta Wastewater Operator’s Association (AWWOA) as one of five community groups stepping up to address a water related challenge.
• The PLWA agreed to participate in the hopes of showcasing the work and efforts by the community for the health of the lake.  The PLWA had some input and influence on some of the content. We flagged many more people and initiatives than appear in the video. The 2 min version is being shown on daytime CTV. The 5 min version is being used by AWWOA to inspire other communities.

Interested in Water Quality?

Then you'll be interested in the PLWA Summary Report on Methods for the Control of Nuisance Blue-green Algae (Cyanobacteria). It provides an Executive Summary; root causes of B-G Algae, details of the PLWA work, and what we are currently advocating for. As well, there is a detailed review of the work done on each of the options.
