Meota Lakeshore Lions Club helping repair shoreline
Visitors to Meota Regional Park will once again be able to plan a dip in the man-made swimming pool at Jackfish Lake this summer with help from the local Lions.
Meota Lakeshore Lions Club members were busy over the weekend repairing the concrete barricade at the shoreline. It was breached by heavy ice chunks in April.
The barricade protects the man-made swimming pool members created at the public beach around 2004.
“This is the worst it’s ever been,” Lions president Lawrie Ward said. “It’s something you don’t expect. But if the wind comes around the wrong way there is nothing you can do. We never expected it to do that.
