Rowe said they would abide by all provincial and federal boating regulations. Power boats, sail boats, and inflatables, (dinghies or tubes) would not be allowed. Paddle boats, paddle boards, and kayaks would be allowed. Recreational swimming would not be allow and there would be permanent signage posted throughout the area informing people to use at their own risk. Town councillors were generally not opposed to the idea, but requested more details regarding boating regulations, and usage as the pond is stocked with fish and there could possibility be restrictions currently in place. Rowe said he has put together a draft policy on the usage of paddle boards and kayaks on the pond. Corporate Services Director Paul Casey said from a risk management perspective there could be
