Park Hours
Please check the website for up-to-date park hours. As we move into fall, the park will close earlier in the evening, matching sunset.
Back To School
We hope that everyone had an amazing summer.
As we move into fall, we would like to remind everyone of some of our fishing rules:
• Fishing privileges are restricted to three guests per member. Members must actively be fishing with their guests. Guests are not permitted to take or remove fish from the property.
• Fishing after sunset is not permitted and all fishermen must check out at the front office 15 minutes before closing.
As always, please make sure you have read the lake’s rules and regulations.

President’s Message
For some of us we can’t believe it is September. Others embrace the return to routines. At the lake we simply appreciate every extra day of warm sunshine. The beach becomes less busy but that isn’t to say that folks don’t continue to swim. Alas, we are Canadian and must milk every opportunity before autumn settles in.
I would like to take a moment to thank all the families that came to enjoy movie on the beach. It remains a favourite event, and it brings us joy to see a hill full of members and their guests.
A brief update on projects. The electrical upgrades in our pump house were completed at the beginning of summer. After allowing our aquifer to have a rest this spring, we were able to operate our current well to supplement our water levels. We are intent on digging a second well this fall to improve our sufficiency on sustaining the water levels of the lake.
Things to do at the lake before we must yield to the shoulder season…. Come and try the disc golf course. Shoot hoops on the basketball court. September weather is ideal for pickleball. Or have a lazy picnic – what is that? Bring your takeout and pop into the lake to enjoy your sandwich or pizza at a picnic table. Or start a habit to take you into winter – come walk a lap around the hill each day. I say it all the time… the lake is for using.
See you at the Lake,
Jen Hawkins
