Officers set up check stops at entry points to the lake and checked for a variety of items including impaired driving, vehicle safety, and fisheries violations.

As a result of their enforcement efforts officers issued eight violations under the Traffic Safety Act with approximately 15 warnings.
There were also four violations under the Alberta Fisheries Act and Regulations and six violations under the Gaming Liquor and Cannabis Act.
