Welcome to Little Gull Marina!

It has been a crazy spring and summer here. It seems we haven’t been able to stop to catch our breath for more than a moment. Which is great! We are happy to be busy, and love seeing everyone out and about enjoying the sunshine in between rain drops and gale force winds.

We’ve been very happy to have Heather home to visit for a couple of weeks now!  Although it’s been 5 years, it seems she never left and we will definitely be sad to see her go tomorrow. She has been making the most of her time here catching up with people, reminding herself how to use the till and pump gas, and getting some water sports in (we had to make sure we got a tube ride in!).  It’s been great having her back around and we hope that she will be able to visit again soon, hopefully with Ryan next time!

The long weekend is coming and thanks to Joey Peeters, so are the annual Customer Appreciation Fireworks!  A message from Joey: Peeters landscaping is happy to announce that we will be doing the annual fireworks show off our barge again this year. We have permits in place to fire the show on Catchacoma lake on the evening of July 30. We are looking for your donations again to make this show possible. Please dm, text or call (705)559-6490 if you would like to help make this the biggest show yet!! Thank you all in advance and we will see you all on the water!

If you have a local business and would like to support this event, you are welcome to drop donations off here at Little Gull and we will be sure they get to Joey.

It looks like a beautiful weekend ahead – Enjoy!

Another month has blown by on us, in the blink of an eye.  The whole crew has been working hard to get boats in the water, and other toys repaired so that you can enjoy all parts of cottage life.  It always seems there just isn’t enough time in the day.  If you have requested your boat(s) for a specific weekend, and your plans change. It is always helpful for us to know so that we can plan accordingly. Contact Michelle in the office for any arrangements/changes that need to be made.

Many of you have now been up and opened the cottage for the season, and the to-do list of tasks keeps growing. Some of the laneways and cottage roads have taken a bit of a hit with all of the rain we’ve gotten, and they may be in need of some TLC.  If you are looking to get that taken care of, Bryan would be happy to help. You can call him at 705-760-5115.

We are now open from 9am-5pm every day for the month of June. Jordan and Nikola are the familiar faces back to greet you for another season, and we are very excited to welcome Jaymie and Emily to the crew this summer. If you stop by on weekends in June, you will likely get the opportunity to meet them as they learn the ropes so that we can throw them in head first come July!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

It’s boat season! And they are hitting the water as quickly as possible which is great.  It’s nice to start seeing some familiar faces back up enjoying cottage country and the nice weather before the bugs come out of hiding.

In shop news, we want to congratulate Matt on his new role at a different marina closer to home.  We are so grateful for the time that he spent here. He was an invaluable member of our team, always going above and beyond the call of duty to serve our customers, and doing everything he could to help us through a very challenging couple of years. We are very sorry to see him go, but we know that this is a fantastic opportunity for him and we wish him all the best!

Luke and Gabe are ready to take on the season and have been busy launching boats these past few weeks. If you would like to make arrangements to get your boat out of storage, please email michelle@littlegullmarina.ca with at least 2 weeks notice and she will get you in the queue!  She will always reply with a confirmation, so if you don’t hear back, definitely follow up in case the email got lost in cyber space.

On another staff note, if you or anyone you know is looking for a summer job this year, we would love to hear from you!  Email leah@littlegullmarina.ca for more information or to send a resume in.

We are still collecting corks, and are back to collecting pop can tabs so you are welcome to drop them by anytime that we are open, which currently is now 9am-4pm every day!
