Have-a-Dock Concert Rescheduled…

Due to the weather forecast this weekend, the Have-a-Dock concert has been rescheduled to 1:00 pm, Sunday, August 30th.

Please remember that the performers are kindly asking for donations to the North Hastings  Children Services.

Let’s show our neighbouring community that our hearts are as big as ever, particularly in these challenging times.

British Invasion Rocked My Dock😝

Thanks for taking us back to our first summers on Steenburg Lake in the early 60’s 👍 Haven’t danced on the dock in awhile 🥰 Thank you for a chance to gather safely and enjoy the spirit of Steenburg Lake once again 🥰

Lost red sailboard

Still looking for our red sailboats that left the dock 2 seasons ago at this time. If you’ve seen it please contact Suzanne … Parker 192 @ 233 A steenburg Lake Rd North beside the beach

How blessed are we…

Wow!  There is so much talent around our lake…  Just imagine, not one, but two great concerts this month, featuring so many talented member of our community.  And all from the safety of our boats!

Thank you Josh Patrick and bandmates for your British Invasion show on August 15th (details to follow), and Fred Cotie and friends for another great Have-a- Dock Jamboree on August 29th.

Today would have been our Annual General Meeting.  Concerns over the ongoing pandemic have forced us to postpone and rethink how we might be able to accommodate such a meeting and conduct our necessary business.

In the meantime, Fred Cotie was kind enough to allow the SLCA a few minutes at the start of their show just to share a few announcement and information with our members.  Please plan to be a few minutes early (at least 3:45) and settled in, so we can start the concert on time.

And remember, donations towards the North Hastings Children Services would be so appreciated.

Gypsy moths are back in full force..

Eastern Ontario in grip of worst Gypsy moth outbreak in 30 years

No doubt many of you have noticed that there are a lot of small white moths around this summer, and that many trees in the area are being eaten bare.  They’re back, and the ideal conditions for Gypsy moths combined with their natural population cycles means they are here in record numbers.

Read more about them and the problems they pose, as well as what small measures you could take at least on your own properties to try and lessen their impact.

Annual SLCA Photo Contest

What’s up SLCA community?

This year hasn’t been great for SLCA  events, with this whole isolation and social distancing thing.   But that probably means you’ve had more time to take a few great pictures.

Deadline for the annual photo contest is October 1st, and this year submissions can be made online to the website.

Take your best shot, and good luck.

Looking for something cool to see tonight?

If you haven’t seen the NEOWISE comet yet, check it out before it disappears for the next 6,800 years.

Find the big dipper when it gets dark, then look down and to the right.  The moon is dark, and the sky was clear last night. 

Not as spectacular as the picture without a telescope and long exposure, but you can see it with the naked eye.
