We will be updating everyone on the status of recent allegations of drug activity and violence at the Alloway Lake's public access area.

There was a recorded fight that happened here, and we want to be sure that the families, individuals and others that appreciate and value the access to this treasure of our community are safe!

Their have been known drug activities occurring at night and some even during the day, right in front of our eyes. We need to fix this issue as a community and need help with making our this area safe for the public and, especially, our youth!
