The Your Lakes, Your Views Survey is Coming in June

Get Ready to Share Your Voice: Your Lakes, Your Views Survey is Coming!

We’re excited to announce that the fourth Safe Quiet Lakes Survey is just around the corner, and we need your participation! As a valued member of the Georgian Bay community, your opinions and experiences are crucial in shaping the future of our lakes and boating experiences.

Safe Quiet Lakes has fielded the most comprehensive and professional surveys of lake users ever conducted in Ontario. This survey, which is being conducted by Earnscliffe Strategies, will look at your top pleasures of the lake experience, boating use and behavior, the quality of your lake experience, what’s changing about the lake experience, what the top concerns are and what people think solutions might be.

Why Participate?

  • Share your thoughts on the top pleasures of the lake experience, boating use and behavior, and the quality of the lake experience
  • Voice your concerns and suggest solutions to issues affecting our lakes
  • Help inform GBA committee plans, organizational programs, and policy development with all layers of government and law enforcement
The insights from these surveys lead to a better understanding of the activities, issues and concerns of lake users in the region. Results will be used to inform many GBA committee’s plans as well as other organization’s programs, and for policy development with all levels of government.

A Record-Breaking Opportunity

The Georgian Bay area was included for the first time Last time, GBA had an incredible 1111 GBA responses, out of a total of just under 6,000 responses across various regions, including Muskoka and Lake of Bays. This time, Haliburton will be included in the survey, making it the largest survey of its kind in North America. Let’s aim to top our previous response numbers and make our voices heard!

The survey launches June 17, 2025 and goes through July 21, 2025 so there is a limited time to make sure you are heard.
