Lake Stewardship
Protecting the health of our lake is a shared community responsibility. Small actions add up — together we can preserve Lac Ste. Anne for generations to come.
Why Lake Stewardship Matters
A healthy lake supports wildlife habitat, recreational enjoyment, property values, and overall community well-being. Sunset Point recognizes the lake as a central part of our community identity and environmental sustainability.
Stewardship supports water quality, shoreline integrity, and habitat preservation for current and future residents.

Respect Our Lakes (ROL) Program
Lakes are among Alberta’s most treasured natural resources. However, increased development, land clearing, nutrient runoff, and climate impacts have led to water quality challenges including excessive aquatic vegetation and blue-green algae blooms.
The Respect Our Lakes (ROL) program, developed by the Government of Alberta, provides tools and resources to help lake users understand, value, and actively protect lakes through science-based stewardship and legislation.
Caring for Our Lake Starts With Everyday Actions
Maintaining the health of Alberta’s lakes is everyone’s responsibility. What individuals do along the shoreline adds up — and it can make a huge difference.
Actions of lakeshore residents, decision makers, and land users around the lake impact water quality, shoreline stability, and habitat for wildlife. Below are practical examples of what you can do to help protect Lac Ste. Anne.
Leave shorelines and aquatic vegetation natural
Shoreline modifications or aquatic vegetation removal require written authorization from Alberta Environment and Parks.
Plant native shrubs and plants
Restore natural buffers where shorelines have been cleared to reduce erosion and filter runoff.
Refuel safely to prevent spills
Use spill control devices, or refuel well away from water to avoid contamination.
Use fertilizers responsibly
Avoid fertilizers when possible. If needed, choose organic slow-release products and apply far from the shoreline.
Watch for invasive species
Look for aquatic invasive species and report or remove them as appropriate to protect the ecosystem.
