Recreation Committee Happenings and Upcoming Events!
Beach Improvement Project
Thanks to the funds from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Recreation Committee has completed a Beach Improvement Project. This project allows more residents better access to physical activities. The project involved the removal of the beach shack and the construction of a small pavilion. This allows for a comfortable shaded area for residents to use when enjoying outdoor physical activity. The pavilions concrete floor will allow for additional physical activities in the future. For the kids enjoyment, a new swing set and slide are also installed. The project began mid-June 2016 and was completed in time for the Annual Horseshoe Tournament and Beach Day.
RESTORE YOUR SHORE 2017
Phosphorus is known to contribute to the growth of blue-green algae. Research has proven that shoreline vegetation contributes to the health of lakes and streams, including how it prevents nutrients such as phosphorus from entering the waterways.
The North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority is offering property owners in our municipality free shoreline planting in 2017. Over the past 2 years, more than 70 property owners have taken part in the program, planting more than 12,500 trees, shrubs and plants. Contact www.restoreyourshore.ca
for more information on the 2017 Program.
