Shoreline “911” signs
As Fire Chief Miles Maughan emphasized at our AGM, it would be very helpful in emergencies if all or most properties had their address sign on the waterfront. It makes it much easier for boaters, snowmobilers or other people on the lake to call in emergencies and report the location. It also makes it easier to find your friends.
Signs can be ordered from Chris at VISTA Signs, (705 457-9796). They are still only $20.00 plus tax.
Remember to hang them above the winter snowline.

Novelty Swim – Help please! We are so happy that Joe Parkinsonis is once again able to run the Novelty Swim, it is such a fun event for the younger children.
