The SLSC (Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club) is letting the adults share in some of the fun and excitement that the kids have been enjoying for so many summers. If you’re looking for something different to do this Saturday, or if you’ve had a hankering to get out on the water to try some sailing, this is your chance. You’ll receive 3 hours of expert instruction from Kate Thomas and her fellow instructors. The clinic is open to anyone 17 years or older and it will cost $75/person. This sounds like a great opportunity and is sure to be lots of fun. Please contact Kate directly at (705) 887-7109 or email her at: [email protected]

Salvation Army Food Drive Update
The Salvation Army Food Drive was a great success this year! Not only was this event for a worthy cause but several volunteers managed to have their efforts count towards community volunteer hours for high school.
Many thanks to Susan Benson for organizing and thanks to those that helped to make this event a success!
Warning: Beach Posted – Suspected Blue-Green Algae Bloom (August 5 2011)
Today (August 5th) the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) posted the Sturgeon Point Public Beach because of a suspected Blue-Green algae bloom. If you visit the Public Beach, you’ll notice a warning sign posted to the garbage bin. “Posting” means that using the lake water or swimming in the lake may pose a health risk. Although the Upper Wharf area has no sign announcing the posting, you should assume that the posting applies that location as well as any private waterfront properties here in Sturgeon Point.
