 “Thank you for your attention to this matter.” 

As sad as it is, park shutdown is planned for 

OCTOBER 4TH, 2026

As usual, the water and sewer will be shut down and will no longer be available.  Laundry will be closed as well as other park services. 

Detailed Schedule: 

Monday, September 21

Washrooms and the laundromat

Sunday, October 4

Water and sewer systems

The AED unit and first aid kit will be removed for the winter. 

Please do not put anything else in the sewer or flush and toilets after this time. 

 “Thank you for your attention to this matter.” 

There is currently a boiled water advisory on at the park due to some test results that were slightly outside the "normal".  Once testing has returned to NORMAL the advisory will be lifted.  

 Unfortunately, there have been a few issues concerning use of the washrooms.  

Although we hire a caretaker, we are still a cooperative and we should clean up after ourselves and our guests when an unusual mess is made in the bathroom.  

If the behaviour continues, we may need to discuss closing the washrooms permanently.  

Just a reminder that electric vehicles should NOT be plugged into lot power.  Although our power grid has been upgraded we need to be cautious of power load. 

You cooperation is appreciated.   

Lot B1 is not a parking area.  As inviting as it is to park in this area, please park in your designated area and do not park vehicles in this area.

If you have a concern, please raise it with Good Will and Grievance or a board member for discussion.  

We would like to get the Pet Awareness signs out where they should be.  If you need a sign or have one that you no longer need, please see Wendy Zilkie at J7.

WHO DO YOU TALK TO IN 2026 IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT SOMETHING IN THE PARK. 

As we introduce the new board for the 2026 season, we want to ensure that everyone knows who to contact for specific issues. 

If you're unsure who to reach out to, a list of contacts can be found here. 

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.   

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. 

REMINDER OF FIREWORKS RULES AND REGS

Lighting fireworks on trailer park property is NOT PERMITTED.  This includes the dike and on the beach in front of our park property.  

A permit from the Province of Manitoba is required to light fireworks in public. 

SAFE SWIMMING AREA

Please practice good watercraft safety. Please operate your crafts away from the safety buoys marking a safe swimming area.  

They buoys are not to mark a slalom course to drive through .   

Social committee is always looking for volunteers for upcoming events. Please contact a Board Member to let them know of your interest.  

If you are looking for a book to read or even watch a new movie – checkout the bookcases in the hall.

A big thank you to Brenda Guay and helpers for looking after the “Library” at the hall. Lots of sorting and cleaning up, getting rid of books that are falling apart. DVD’s have been kindly donated too….make sure they are returned, for all to enjoy!

 🔥Be Fire Smart. 🔥
