Sturgeon Point Leaf Dump
The Leaf Dump is certainly at it’s busiest these days and it has become apparent that it is getting close to capacity. There has been a bit of contention at the leaf dump as of late, with some notice of construction material and brush being dumped as well as non-community members using it. The village is privileged to have such a convenient location to dispose of leaves and clippings. Unfortunately, with the Leaf Dump being mis-used, the cost of maintaining this area is rising.
The Leaf Dump is owned by the Sturgeon Point Land Trustees and maintained by the Sturgeon Point Association with operating costs covered by the Sturgeon Point Association membership fees. We are concerned that with the increase in cost to maintain the Leaf Dump could result in increasing membership fess or having to close the Leaf Dump. After a meeting with the Sturgeon Point Land Trustees, it was decided that the Leaf Dump should only be available for Sturgeon Point Association Members. As of November 1st, a combination lock will be put on the entrance gate to the Leaf Dump. All Sturgeon Point Association Members will be given the combination in a future email. We would ask that you unlock the gate when in use and lock it when not in use. We are hoping this will streamline the operation of the dump.
If you are not a Sturgeon Point Association member, please go to the Sturgeon Point Association website for a membership form (https://www.sturgeonpoint.com/spa-membership/).
Thank you,

Sturgeon Point Association AGM
This Sunday, (September 1st) is the Sturgeon Point Association’s Annual General Meeting – 10:00am @ the Church.
We encourage all community members to attend and participate.
At this year’s meeting we will be discussing many important topics such as the leaf dump, the Upper Wharf, and the future direction of the Sturgeon Point Association.
There will also be community reports by the trustees and about the water system.
Our Councillor Brian Junkin will be there to talk to us about the City of Kawartha Lakes and to answer any of your questions – maybe about our roads?!
We are also hoping to have Mark Fisher, the Chief Administrative Officer of the City of Kawartha Lakes to talk to us about the direction the City is taking.
We hope all can come up to this important meeting to get informed on what is going on in our community and our city. The Sturgeon Point Association believes this is a great chance to hear the communities views and opinions.
After the meeting, there will be refreshments served.
Also, anyone who hasn’t picked up their 175th Anniversary T-shirt or pennant, can do so at the meeting.
