Well the weather sure changed after the storm 2 weeks ago!  Its feeling a bit more like august already with cool mornings and beautiful sunny days.  Hopefully we get nice weather for the upcoming long weekend!
As far as we know, all power has been restored to the area with the exception of customers who lost the mast that feeds their cottage directly.  Bell is still trying to restore phone service in some areas.

The annual long weekend fireworks will be taking place again this year on Saturday night, with a rain date of Sunday.  The display will be on Gold Lake so load up your boats and come join the masses!
Thanks to Sally, we have a colouring contest going on out here so for all those kids out there who like to colour, be sure to drop by and pick a picture.  The contest ends on August 17th.

We got the girls out for some tubing fun after work last week so today’s picture is Heather and Shawna’s sunset cruise on a tube.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone out and about this weekend.  The candy counter and ice cream freezers are nice and full for kids of all ages to get that sugar fix!

Well that was quite the storm!  Hydro could be out for a few more days yet.  The crews are busy working away and they are saying hopefully by Thursday everyone will have power but don’t get too excited they keep changing their minds!   The picture is from Catchacoma in a small bay near the narrows during the storm.
There is a fair bit of damage so patience will be necessary if you venture up here.  The roads are clear in most spots with some laneways blocked.
Let us know if you decide to start looking for generators or other “power-out” toys to help.

What a hot week!!! With storm warnings out for today we’re hoping they just go around us.  The swimming lessons are sure enjoying the heat though!  Its a lot easier to swim in the warm sun than it is on cool days.  Lessons are still open for registration.  The second session started today and the third starts on July 30th.  Lori will also be running a Bronze Medallion course the first 2 weeks of august in the afternoons.
Its been a very busy July so far and great to see everyone back out on the water enjoying the paradise that we are so lucky to have.

There are a few events coming up over the next couple of weeks.
It is One Big Day at the community center with a baseball tournament, hidden auction, yard sale, BBQ, and baked goods but come EARLY if you want the baked goodies….they’re usually gone right away!
The Mississagua Regatta is Saturday, July 27th here at the marina.
Fireworks will be on Saturday, August 3rd on Gold Lake with a rain night of Sunday August 4th.

The picture today is of our baby coyote friends who have been hanging around for the past few weeks!
Enjoy the rest of your week and see everyone on the weekend.
