The KLSA is holding their annual spring meeting at the Bobcaygeon Public School on May 8th, 10:00 a.m. The KLSA is one of several active conservation groups with a focus on the care and management of our lakes. They recently received funding to conduct a study of algae in our lakes. There will be a number of speakers at the meeting (including the Mayor of CoKL) to make presentations on this issue and others. This meeting will be of interest to waterfront owners and all concerned citizens. Click on the link to read the KLSA Spring 2010 Meeting Notice.

CoKL Growth Plan Strategy Public Meeting
The City is hosting meetings for public consultation on the Growth Plan Strategy and the Municipal Master Plan at two locations: The Coboconk Service Centre on December 9th and City Hall in Lindsay (Victoria Hall) on December 10th. There will be an open house starting at 4:00 p.m. at both locations, with the meeting starting at 7:00 p.m. You can read the details in the City’s Notice of Meeting.
The Growth Plan Strategy is ambitious: it provides a framework for growth in the City through to the year 2031. It deals directly with planned growth in the “urban” centres within the City: Lindsay, Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls and Omemee. The Plan will govern issues including infrastructure planning, transportation, waste management, urban form and natural heritage. While these issues clearly have an impact on the residents of the aforementioned urban areas, they will also affect those of us in the smaller communities (“hamlets”, to use the city planning jargon). Growth and waste management can have an impact on the local environment, including the quality of our lake water. And all of these issues are ultimately linked to our taxes.
If you are interested in these issues and have a chance to attend, please do so. These meetings are set up so that you can voice your concerns and opinions to protect your interests.
