THINKING OF...   - BUYING   - BUILDING   - ADDING ?

Visit the Lakehead Conservation office before you purchase a home or property, or build your home, garage or addition. Staff can review the property as it relates to a nearby watercourse or hazard land, as well as fisheries and navigable waters. We will assess factors that may affect the location and other aspects of development on the property.
