contact information update
WE NEED YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION
Sharing contact information with a common group is important because it helps everyone stay connected, organized, and informed. When the community have access to the same contact list, communication becomes faster and more reliable. It makes it easier to share updates, schedule meetings, respond to emergencies, and make sure no one is left out of important information. A shared contact group also helps build a sense of community, because everyone knows how to reach the right people when support, clarification, or collaboration is needed. Overall, keeping contact information in one common place improves teamwork, reduces confusion, and strengthens communication within the group.
Please reach out to the board and let us know of any updated numbers, addresses etc.

PROTECTING THE DYKE THAT PROTECTS US
Dykes play a crucial role in safeguarding beaches from erosion and preserving their natural integrity.
They act as vital barriers against the forces of wind and water and protecting our park.
For the continued protection of our dyke's structure and integrity, please do not alter or disturb the dyke in any way.
The park board is in the process of seeking advice on the best way to maintain the dyke for years to come.

CRITICAL MESSAGE WE JUST AREN'T GETTING
Sewer system reminders
A TEAM OF WATER TESTERS NEEDED
A TEAM OF WATER TESTERS NEEDED
Please refrain from abusing the sewer system.
Do not dispose of items in the sewer that are not appropriate for flushing. The sewer system is designed for human waste only.
Stop flushing food, grease, personal hygiene products, and other items that are not human waste.
Unless you are prepared to come out during your dinner hour or beach time to dig and clean pipes, avoid flushing inappropriate items.
Tips: It is advisable to flush a clean bowl or two to prime your sewer drains when you first arrive, especially at the start of a season.
Please be considerate and avoid flushing items that should not be flushed.

A TEAM OF WATER TESTERS NEEDED
Looks like we are getting a team put together, but we are not yet complete. Thank you to those that have joined the water team.
As a reminder, if we fail to provide water testing to the province, they could shut down our water system. No water means no sewer, no laundry, etc.
We urgently need volunteers to help test the water daily. The process is simple and only takes a few minutes.
Additionally, we need to send samples to Winnipeg every couple of weeks for third-party testing.
ONGOING NEWS AND INFORMATION
SEWER REMINDERER
volunteer!! The park needs you
Just a reminder that our sewer system is delicate and needs careful handling. Recently, we have experienced several instances of blockages that are caused by improper waste disposal—specifically grease and non-biodegradable items being flushed down the drains. These materials build up over time and create serious plumbing issues, affecting the entire park.
What You Can Do Help:
1. Do Not Pour Grease or Oil Down the Drains:
This includes cooking oils, grease from frying, or
any other type of fat. Instead, let it cool and
dispose of it in the trash.
2. Do Not Flush Non-Biodegradable Items: Items
such as disposable wipes, diapers, paper towels,
Rags or sanitary products should never be
flushed, as they cause clogs.
3. Be Careful with What Goes Down the Drains:
Only 1 ply toilet paper and human waste should
be flushed.

Volunteering is crucial for keeping things running smoothly in our park. It fills gaps, provides essential services, and fosters a sense of unity and support. But it also enriches our own lives. Whether it's lending a hand at an event or helping with repairs and maintenance, every volunteer effort contributes to a more vibrant and connected membership. Please let a board member know you are ready and willing to help wherever possible.
