As a master Mariner and a long time boating safety instructor I can confirm=
 that the regulations concerning speed in rivers and lakes does apply to No=
va Scotia. Unfortunately the enforcement of such regulations is rare to non=
existent. They can be enforced by the RCMP and local law enforcement but th=
e presence of these authorities is also rare to non existent even in tidal =
waters. The authorities to be approached would be=C2=A0 the RCMP or local l=
aw enforcement.

Hi all:
=C2=A0
This is an email that I received which is out of my ability to provide answ=
ers. =C2=A0I'm hoping that someone on here can provide me with the answers =
so that I can respond to this. =C2=A0
=C2=A0
We have at least one pair of loons on Crooked Lake this season and we have =
seen one young loon with the pair.=C2=A0 We have been wondering about speed=
 limits on our lake and creating a wake zone for next season.=C2=A0 I check=
ed one website which stated that =E2=80=9CThere is a general non-posted 10 =
kph speed limit within 30 metres (100=E2=80=99) from shore in the waters of=
 Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, rivers and lakes in British C=
olumbia and Nova Scotia.=E2=80=9D

I have a few other questions:
1 - Is this your understanding on speed limits, and is this the regulation?
2 - Are you aware if speed limits have been enforced in Nova Scotia?
3 - Have you seen lakes where speed limits are posted in the lake, or at le=
ast near nesting loons?
4 - Who should we approach first, if we want to pursue this direction... Ca=
nadian Wildlife Service (CWS), Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Munic=
ipality of the District of Lunenburg (MODL), police (RCMP) to enact and enf=
orce?

Any thoughts or suggestions?=C2=A0=C2=A0


Sincerely,


James R. Hirtle
