  10. The boat launch area must always be kept clear as this is public access to the lake and is not part of the Hall. Do not park in the boat launch.
  11. Please note that the MLRC does not take any responsibility for activities in or around the lake. The lake is public property and the Hall property ends at historical high water mark. If Renters chose to access the lake they do so at their own risk. There are no lifeguards on duty at McLeese Lake. Also because the lake and beach are public property/ crown land, renters must understand that even though they have rented the Hall, they cannot exclude the public from accessing the lake through the boat launch.
  12. Level 1 First Aid Kit and an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) are located on the main floor of the building in the Handicap washroom.
