North Hatley, (Hatley’s namesake) lies on Lake Massawippi in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. The Lake, local tourism and residents have suffered tremendously from the discovery of Cyanobacteria in the water. Started in 2007, the Hatley Massawippi Water Initiative is a program dedicated to helping the local North Hatley community maintain clean and adequate water resources, to protect the health of its local residents in addition to maintaining local industry. Hatley donates a percentage of it's profits and resources each year to the Lake Massawippi Water Protection Assocation - a lobby group that exists in an endeavor to preserve the quality of the Lake and its watershed.
