Monday

  • The 174th Annual Running & Novelty Race at Swannanoa.  Lots of fun from babies to 100+.

The Church is also organizing their Annual Salvation Army Food Drive

In 2011, a new method for gathering food drive donations was introduced where bags of non-perishable food items were picked up from door steps in the community. Volunteers gathered 77 bags of food and collected $875.

Due to the success of last year’s efforts, the volunteers from the Sturgeon Point Union Church and
the Sturgeon Lake Sailing Club will once again be dropping off empty grocery bags at
your home or cottage on the August long weekend.

 Kindly fill up the bag with non perishable items in
support of this year’s Food Drive.

The volunteers will be around again on Monday August 6th between 3:00-5:00pm
to pick up your filled grocery bag. Please leave your bag at your front door step or porch
for collection by Monday afternoon.

Other Drop Off Options:
Sunday August 5th, Sturgeon Point Union Church Service
Monday August 6th, Civic Weekend Running Races at Swannanoa

 Donations are also gratefully accepted with
cheques made out to:

Salvation Army Food Bank

Hope everyone enjoys this fun filled weekend!

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.

Ontario Laser Masters Championship

SLSC will be hosting the Ontario Laser Masters Championship again this year!

It will take place on Saturday, July 28th and Sunday, July 29th.

The Sailing Club is looking for billets for the participants of this regatta.   Billets will be required on Friday July 27 and Saturday 28. The sailors will be 35 years and older, and lunch and dinner will be provided by the Sailing Club. All that’s really needed is a bed and a simple breakfast.

If you are able to help out, please contact Clare Predergast at 705-887-5411, 647-282-1981 or [email protected]
