Halloween Festivities need VOLUNTEERS!

by

Calling all Sturgeon Pointers…..

As the leaves are changing and there is a chill in the air, you can tell that fall is arriving. And that means Halloween is right around the corner!

For the past few years, our lovely village has been celebrating Halloween on the Saturday before to the maximum the amount of people that can enjoy in all the festivities.

This year’s celebration is marked for Saturday, October 26th.

The plans will be to have a Halloween party in the park from 11am-1pm (costumes encouraged) and then trick or treating around the Point that evening.

BUT for all of this to happen – WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!!! The SPA Board will not be organizing this event this year.

If you would like to see this event continue, please offer to help out.  Judy Haverkort has offered to chair the event this year.  Please contact her directly at judyhaverkort (at) rogers (dot) com if you are able to help.

Thank you.

Thank you to Vanessa Dewson for taking the group picture at the running races this year and to Dave Lightbound for taking lots of photos of the different events that weekend.  Can you find your self??  This picture and lots of others from that weekend have been posted on our facebook page.  Remember to “like” our page so you are always up-to-date on what is going on not only in Sturgeon Point but all around the Kawartha Lakes.

Sturgeon Point Association AGM

by

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.
