Welcome to SLIPP

Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process

The Shuswap Lake Integrated Planning Process (SLIPP) brings together communities, First Nations, and public agencies to ensure that the Shuswap watershed remains a great place to live, work, and play. SLIPP was launched in response to intense pressures from increased development, pollution entering the lakes, and conflicting demands on recreation resources. Working in partnership on innovative approaches and projects, SLIPP aims to increase public safety on the lakes, ensure a healthy lake, and create an environment where a diversity of recreational experiences and economic opportunities can be enjoyed by all.

In early 2011, local governments pledged $1 million to a SLIPP pilot project, including a three-year commitment from the CSRD and TNRD, and a one-year commitment from the City of Salmon Arm and District of Sicamous. This funding is in addition to ongoing project and in-kind funding from SLIPP agency partners.

SLIPP's vision is Working together to sustain the health and prosperity of Shuswap and Mara Lakes. It has three goals that it works toward:
   Development that respects the environment as well as economic and social interests
   Water quality that supports public and environmental health
   Desirable recreation experiences that are safe and sustainable
