The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry Kemptville District Office has recently reviewed and updated its In-water Work Timing Guidelines. These guidelines are intended to provide the timing for in-water work related to an activity, in order to protect fish during spawning and other critical life stages. 

The timing restrictions on Big Rideau Lake (in the areas covered South Burgess and South Elmsley Townships) cover the period from October 1st to June 30th.
