Rick Esselment is the Founder and CEO of ESSE Canada, a family business providing inspection, maintenance programs, compliance reporting, sampling, design review and warranty services for onsite and communal septic/wastewater treatment systems across Canada. He is a strong advocate for educating property owners about the value of onsite septic/wastewater treatment, local water resource management and our responsibilities for water protection. His presentation will include ‘Do It Yourself’ information with best practices and practical advice to cottagers – whether preparing for an inspection, or just doing maintenance and due diligence on our own properties. Since water quality is the main concern for all stakeholders in our neighbourhood, this topic regarding septic systems, etc. will be very valuable to all that attend. Rick was a speaker at the Spring FOCA AGM. He is a professional presenter and extremely knowledgeable and we look forward to his insight and practical guidance to help us all best preserve our lake!

Rick's presentation will begin at approximately 11:15am, immediately following the conclusion of the OPP presentation, on July 14th at the Crane Lake Resort.
