Based on the results of a study conducted by the University of Montreal in 2018, Algonquin College purchased an Abraxis Microcystin field test kit to use on Muskrat Lake for the upcoming 2020 algae bloom season. By partnering with cottage owners, Algonquin College and the Muskrat Watershed Council can utilize this test kit to help generate a better understanding of the current levels of Microcystins throughout Muskrat Lake at different times of the year.
