Great news!
We’ve added a new “Let’s Get The Lead Out” section to our website.
This area is dedicated to protecting our lakes by reducing lead from fishing tackle and other sources. Ontario’s Common Loon face may threats, lead poisoning is one we can fix quickly through simple tackle swaps, drop-offs, and awareness.
2026 is our year to make a real difference on Drag and Spruce Lakes!
Inside you’ll find safe tackle alternatives, why lead harms our fish and wildlife, local sponsors, drop-off locations, easy ways to get involved and videos showing the impacts.

Let’s work together to keep our lakes healthy for generations to come!
Reminder: STR Survey – Your Feedback Matters for Our Lakes This Summer
Summer 2026 is upon us, and STR (Short-Term Rental) usage is expected to ramp up and peak during July and August.
If you haven’t already done so, take a few minutes to complete the Dysart et al Township STR survey. This is a great way to provide your feedback directly to the municipality about how short-term rentals are impacting our lake community.
Take the Survey Here: Dysart STR Survey
For specific complaints or issues, remember to use the STR Hotline 705-809-5589 / str@dysartetal.ca
The more input the municipality receives, the better they can address these matters. Please share this with other lake property owners and complete the survey soon!
