When participants in this week's Osoyoos Lake Water Science Forum drive down Main Street, they will be greeted by a big banner proclaiming Love Our Lake. The banner was sponsored by the Osoyoos Lake Water Quality Society (OLWQS), a citizens' group that monitors water quality. From left are Birgit Arnstein, president of OLWQS, and forum chairs Mayor Sue McKortoff and former mayor Stu Wells. Wells is also a director of the OLWQS. The forum runs from Wednesday to Friday with presentations at the Sonora Community Centre. (Richard McGuire photo)
