Zebra mussels: stay alert!

Did you know that you can help monitor zebra mussels in Brome Lake? This invasive exotic species has not yet colonized our lake, and we're working hard to prevent its introduction.

Here are a few tips:

• When you take your dock out of the water in the fall, take the time to inspect it.
• Zebra mussels cling firmly to submerged surfaces. They often prefer places sheltered from the sun and current.
• Check for zebra mussels on dock legs, under ladder steps, on concrete blocks, ropes and chains.
• Stay alert! Zebra mussels can be tiny.

Want to learn how to identify them? Take a look at this leaflet (in French only). To find out more about the species, consult this leaflet.

We'd like to remind you that boat cleaning is the best way to prevent the introduction of zebra mussels into Brome Lake. The boat wash will be open daily until September 29, then on weekends until October 14. Hours may vary depending on the day.

New Promotional Clothing Line!

Designed in partnership with the Kool Club illustrators' collective (Sarah Bean, Antoine Lapierre et Aicha Smaili-Carpentier), this new line of promotional items, consisting of a t-shirt, a crew neck, and two reusable bags, shows the many faces of Brome Lake.

Asked to capture what Brome Lake means to them, the artists chose ducks, paddleboards, antique shops and lakeside picnics to capture the authenticity and diversity of our region.

Produced in limited quantities, these items are available online at tourismelacbrome.square.site and can be picked up at our tourist office on weekends.

            Download our tourist app            

Our community fridge is accessible from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the entrance of Centre Lac-Brome.

Foods accepted include fruits, vegetables, bread, and pastries.

You can take what you need for your personal consumption.
