Brief History
The Tremblant Lakeside Skiers Association (TLSA) was launched in 2006 and incorporated in 2010. It brings together enthusiasts of nautical sports such as water skiers and surfers. These resident families of Lake Mercier want to preserve their freedom of navigation and their right to safely engage in towing activities.
The TLSA was founded following a resolution introduced by the city in 2003 which aimed to impose boating restrictions for towing activities on Lake Mercier. Resolution 2003-645 imposed, among others, limited hours to only two timeframes, from noon to 6PM and from 7 to 8PM.
Thanks to the mobilization of TLSA members and discussions with the city, the Office of Boating Safety and Transport Canada, this resolution was never implemented thus far. The city’s request has still not been withdrawn, and ongoing efforts from TLSA are needed to ensure that the right to navigate the lake remains free from federal restrictions. Thanks to your membership, TLSA will continue to be your voice to maintain alternative, non-regulatory measures instead of potentially very constraining federal restrictions.
TLSA maintains a dialogue with key stakeholders of Lake Mercier, including municipal and federal authorities. It represents lakeside boaters when regulatory, demographic, or environmental issues arise.
What do we do?
The Tremblant Lakeside Skiers Association (TLSA) takes action and formulates positions to:
Protect the right to engage in watersports
Promote the Voluntary Boating Code of Conduct
Respect the environment
Promote boating safety
Promote good relations between boaters and lakeside residents
Our Voluntary Boating Code of Conduct
VBCC v.2026
Follow these guidelines! Ride in the middle of the lake during wake activities and slowly within 60 meters of the shore, our « Waterfront Speed Limit ». Although traffic is generally very light on Lake Mercier, these guidelines have proven highly effective in reducing potential conflicts and ensuring safe boating near the shores.
