Summer is Here!
Please keep your eye on our website, www.midnaporelake.ca, or our Facebook page for updated park and office hours.
We are now looking forward to our summer season.
Rule Reminder
#11 which states that members may supply and use their own floatation toys that include non-approved watercraft such as toy dinghies and floatation blankets in the beach swimming area that is defined as that body of water nearest the beach extending into the lake to a line between the orange shoreline markers, one located on the corner of the boat dock and the other located on the south shore fishing zone. Any members using floatation toys in open lake water beyond this point are required to supply and wear a Personal Floatation Device.
Please remember to bring your own life jackets if you intend to venture past the swimming area. As always, the safety of our members and their guests is of utmost concern.

Presidents Message
June… The park has fully shifted seasons and we are eagerly anticipating summer. Dig out your swimsuits and beach toys. Pickleball is well underway. Lots to do for everyone at the lake. We have four new row boats coming, so maybe plan to try one out on one of your visits.
We have topped up lake water with city supply for the coming season. Our original well is busy adding to the lake throughout the summer. We made two attempts to dig wells over the winter and sadly did not hit a source that would supply what we were looking for. We have been in consultation with a variety of experts as we sought to find water independent of city supply. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee of success when embarking on these projects. We are going to hold and monitor the original well for another season and decide if we want to make one final attempt in the fall of 2025.
We are preparing for our annual AGM in June. If you are interested in the workings of the lake, I invite you to come. If you are keen to get involved, please consider reaching out to our nominations committee. We are appreciative of our volunteer board. Board members are voted in annually and ideally would commit to two years of participation. It is a great opportunity to work with a variety of people, learn about our lake, and represent the interests of the membership.
See you at the lake,
Jen Hawkins
