Development of a management plan for Christina Lake was initiated in 1988, in response to a perceived increase in the variety and amount of resource use and development pressures on the lake and its shorelands. A biophysical inventory and land use evaluation of the Christina Lake shoreland area was completed in the fall of 1988. The Plan endeavours to allow for increased recreational use and limited industrial development of the area so tha tthe major values of the lake and backshore remain unimpaired for wildland recreational opportunities into the future.
