Near the lake, on Meech Creek, are the ruins of a Fertilizer plant built by Thomas "Carbide" Willson during the 1900s . In 1981 , Willson's former summer home (the Willson House) on Meech Lake was converted into a government conference centre. The house is notable for its use, in 1987 , as the site of meetings on the Meech Lake Accord (which proposed the overhauling of Canada's constitution) between the provincial premiers and then-Prime Minister Brian Mulroney . Numerous residents have homes along the lake, including the Prime Minister Of Canada for whom a cottage is maintained. The National Capital Commission (NCC), steward of Gatineau Park, operates beaches on the lake during the summer. Although it is not condoned by the NCC, there is a secluded beach often used by Naturists . |
