Drag & Spruce Lakes

Just too much rain. Both cancelled.

Hey, wait until next year…!

From Karl Gonnsen:

You will recall in my last post that I advised our membership about the update to the Official Plan and the public meeting scheduled for Tuesday at the municipal office. At that time I did not finish my review of the proposed changes to the OP.

I have now finished. Of concern to me is a proposal to make the Kennaway Road  area where the biochar plant is proposed an industrial area. This is of concern as this is a rural area and in my opinion processing and manufacturing plants do not belong here. In effect what the Township is doing is making sure that if the Haliburton Forest Biochar lose the OMB hearing the Township will bail them out and allow their plant anyways. This is a plant that will operate 24/7. It will not process sawdust as they said at the public meetings but virgin trees cut down for the express purpose of being used in the making of Biochar. This plant belongs in a urban industrial subdivision not in a rural area.

The Novelty Swim for young children has been cancelled today, Saturday, August 5th. There are concerns about the weather forecast, the colder weather and the effect on the young children. Podmore Beach barely exists due to high water and could be a safety concern. Kristen and Kylie look forward to seeing you next year!
The Ced Hurd Mile Swim is also cancelled as Thunderstorms are threatening.
Fun Day should be better weather and a good afternoon for the whole family. Events start at 2 PM at the Fish Hatchery on Sunday, August 6th, on Gelert Road ( CR 1). It is just 5 minutes south of the hospital.
See you there!
