Regatta Weekend Is Upon Us!

The August Long Weekend is here, and this is a reminder that there will be a BBQ and Street Dance for everyone in Sturgeon Point at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 30th, at the Park. Everyone is welcome. Come on down and shake it out with all of your friends and neighbours.

Don’t forget that the swimming and canoe events have been moved to Sunday afternoon this year. Please bring a life jacket and water shoes if you’re coming to participate in those events.

Swimming and Canoe Races: 2:00 p.m. Sunday afternoon (July 31st) at the Public Beach.

Running Races: 10:00 a.m. Monday morning (Aug 1st) on the beautiful lawns of Swannanoa

Road work in the final stretch…

by

After a brief hiatus on our road rehabilitation, Mr. Grader and Mr. Roller finally started their jobs on Second and Third Streets today. This was great fun to watch for fans of those “Big Truck” shows. The paving work will start tomorrow, although it is uncertain whether that task will be completed in a single day. It will almost certainly be completed on Friday. There will be clean up and finishing work to do afterwards. This may drag into next week. I think we can reasonably expect the road crews to be clear of the Village before the August long weekend. Residents of Second and Third Streets will rejoice!

Road Paving Work has Started!

by

Second Street has been ripped up and covered with gravel, and bottom of Third Street has just started receiving the same treatment. Removal of the old asphalt surface will continue on Monday morning (July 11), and will likely be completed that day. There will be no road work done on Friday or the weekend.

The paving crew is not expected to arrive for approximately one week after the initial roadwork is completed. In the meantime, please excercise caution when driving along Second and Third Streets!
