Welcome to our
Drag and Spruce Lakes Website!
Update August 2009 HIGH SPEED - Although many property owners on the lakes will be getting High Speed before the end of the year through Bell Aliant, many of us won't.
Jamie Parks, Broadband Coordinator for the County, can let you know your status (705-286-1333) and will visit you to test out Rogers and Bell sticks to see if you are in range to receive higher speed through one of them. You can also go to the County website to see if you are in the Bell Alliant range. www.haliburtoncounty.ca/telephone line eligibility
Occassionally, we need to contact you. Please make sure that we have your email address. Our membership chairperson, Nancy Stinson, can be reached by email:nstinson2@gmail.com. Please forward your email addresses to her.

- Congratulations to Drag Lake property owner Martin Rist. As of September, Martin will be one of the Co-Chairs of the CEWF (Coalition for Equitable Water Flow). See the link in our link section and check this site for updates on progress with the Trent Severn Waterway and water levels.
-DSLPOA are also members of the CHPO (Coalition of Haliburton Property Owners, waterfront properties). This organization, which meets several times a year, along with more committee meetings, shares common interests and concerns and will help to prevent duplication in efforts, especially at the County level.
