- "According to the Dysart Et Al Encroachment By-law, it is prohibited for any private installations such as docks to be placed on public lands without proper authorization.
This includes but is not limited to public beaches and boat launch areas, which are meant to be accessible to all residents and visitors alike year round. We strongly urge all members and property owners to review the Encroachment By-law and respect public spaces by ensuring any personal property is removed from these areas promptly."

Hope for more rain.
In keeping with our obligations with Canada’s Private Buoy Regulations under the Canada Shipping Act, this is to notify that the 10 hazard buoys in Spruce Lake and Outlet Bay (HR4 through HR8, HT1 thru 5) have been removed for the season. They have been replaced with lower profile white markers. Once again, thanks to Gary Hunt for volunteering.
A further update will be provided once the Drag Lake buoys have been removed.
If your boat is still in the water, be vigilant. The current water levels extremely low for this time of year.
