McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve (MBWR)

1. MBWR User Survey

The McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve is open to the public, free of charge, seven days a week, year-round. Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and skating are favorite pastimes during the winter, while cycling, walking/hiking, birdwatching and photography are more popular during the warmer months.

One of the goals of the McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve Master Plan was to create an area where people and wildlife could co-exist in harmony, and we believe, with the assistance and support of dedicated volunteers, this has been achieved.

In order to assist us in ensuring that the McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve remains an enjoyable resource for the community, and to help us continually improve the facility with the resources we have available, we appreciate your taking the time to fill out our survey.
