Landmark Buildings

In the past few weeks, there have been a few landmark buildings in the local news….

First is about the new ‘jewel’ in Fenelon Falls:

On October 19th, there was an official grand opening for the new Fenelon Falls arena, which is a multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art facility.  It is a bright, beautifully designed building that will be great for hosting everything from sports to dances.  There is a single-pad arena and a community centre that can accommodate 350 people.

This year for Fenelon Falls Santa Day, Santa’s workshop will be at this new facility.  Great chance to check this new ‘jewel’ out if you haven’t already!

The other landmark building in the news is the Academy Theatre in Lindsay….

The Academy Theatre has just started and aggressive two-month campaign to raise $50,000 called Keep the Magic Alive.  This campaign is asking 1,000 people to donate $50.  That is it.  That $50 will help to keep the lights on in the theatre instead of seeing the doors close forever.

For more on the campaign, please see this article:  http://www.mykawartha.com/community/article/1528354–academy-theatre-turns-to-community-to-save-cultural-landmark

At this time, they are almost 50% there to reaching their goal!  Please try and help them out!!

 

Lake water irrigation system – low water volume advisory

Two of three water pumps that feed our lake water irrigation system are temporarily out of service. The single remaining pump may be unable to supply the volume of water required to maintain adequate pressure throughout the water system during periods of high demand.

A second pump will be brought back online on Monday, and the water supply will be back to normal at that time. The third pump will be brought back up in the following days. In the meantime we ask that you restrict water usage where possible. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Canada Day Celebration BBQ

The Sturgeon Point annual “Welcome to Summer” BBQ lunch event will be held on Canada Day – Sunday, July 1st at 12:00 noon at the Park. 

There will be a BBQ lunch, raising of the flags on our refurbished flag pole, then the favorite activity for all – cake!

Everyone is welcome, and we hope to see you there!

Lake water irrigation system temporarily shut down…

The lake water irrigation system has been shut down on Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Streets pending the repair of a leaking water pipe. The eastern section of the water system remains up and running. The repairs are expected to be completed in the coming days. Note that we are expecting some rain on Tuesday, which will provide some relief for those of you with thirsty gardens.
