DOCUMENTARIES
Étienne Benoit, a past administrator of the CSBVLD set on a mission to inform citicens about the lake and its watershed. As he says "Inform to better protect"
"I want to thank Étienne for having provided us with his four documentaries. These will serve as tools to raise awareness about the beauty and fragility of these magnificent waterways that feed into Lake Davignon. The films are available below, and we particularly invite teachers to use them to educate students about the history of our watershed and the protection of water."
- CSBVLD President, Pierre St-Arnault
