Sproat Lake Pickle Ball

Pickleball is being played at the Sproat Lake Community Hall, 9346 Bomber Base Road. There are two existing courts and three more are being constructed. These courts are for the use of Sproat Lake Community Residents and their guests ONLY. Courts are booked through our Team Up Calendar and must be booked by a Sproat Lake resident. Just press the button below and book a time.

As soon as construction on our new courts is finished one court will always be available for drop in without booking. We encourage new players and will certainly arrange mentoring and instruction on request.

For further information please call Linda Bowers 250-731-5241 or 250-724-3626.

We are currently operating under COVID guidelines. This means no more than 10 people on the courts at one time. This gives each court 4 people with a spare.

NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSURE

July 5 – August 16, 2021

Central Westcoast Forest Society and the Ministry of Transportation and infrastructure will be replacing the culvert on Shuhum Creek at Lakeshore Road to restore fish passage to upstream habitat and to improve road safety.

This project will require a full road closure from July 5 until August 16, 2021. The work site is located between 9720 and 9715 Lakeshore Road. Traffic will be redirected to Highway 4. A footbridge will be installed the week of July 12-16 to restore pedestrian access to both sides of the construction site.

We appreciate your support and patience on this project. Please visit clayoquot.org or contact mandala@clayoquot.org for more information.

Sproat Lake Community Association

Sproat Lake Community Association maintains the Sproat Lake area, and its pristine drinking water. It is truly a unique place to live, vacation and play. Sproat Lake is a place where residents live the lifestyle of abundance, in nature.

Residents in the community enjoy hot summers and temperate winters. They enjoy many opportunities for year-round recreation. Namely, cycling; hiking; swimming; stand-up paddling; wake boarding; water skiing; diving and much more.

The Sproat Lake Community is a favourite place for photographers; bird watchers; bear photography, and leisure enthusiasts alike to find their passions.

A fourteen member board of directors governs the SLCA. These individuals, from our community, take an active role in current issues. Plus they deal with concerns throughout Area “D” Sproat Lake in the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District.

The purpose of our society is as stated in the 1948 constitution, “to acquire, operate and maintain premises for community purposes. And to encourage and foster the growth of community spirit in the Sproat Lake Area. It is about providing social, recreational and athletic facilities for the enjoyment of it’s members. To acquire and hold licenses, franchises, real and personal property, and to do all things necessary or incidental to the foregoing.”

Change of Name

A certificate of “Change of Name” was issued for the Sproat Lake Community Association on June 16, 1995. In November 2005 a referendum was passed through our local government (Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District) to allow SLCA membership fees to be collected along with other regional taxes. This has allowed us to take an active stewardship role. Mainly for water testing and keeping records of our water quality issues.

The main land use in the Sproat Lake area is forestry. We have three provincial parks, and a few campgrounds including wild camping. Sproat Lake harbours steelhead, rainbow trout, and now koi. Our lake is popular for recreational boating/water sports, including houseboats. Sproat Lake has three ecologically sensitive areas: the western tips of both Taylor Arm; Two Rivers Arm; and the eastern tip of Faber Arm (Wilson 2010, Pers. Comm.)
