Please note that a correction has been made on page 10.  The original Carpenter cottage, number 14 on the featured map, was incorrectly reported as belonging to Art Robinson and then Warren Robertson, but in fact, that cottage is currently owned by Robin Robertson, Art’s granddaughter.  Apologies for that error.

Also, if you haven’t yet reviewed the draft updated SLCA Bylaws mentioned on page 14 of the SLCA Bylaw-Draft-Final-R2(2023-10-30).  I would strongly encourage you to have a look, and please send any comments or questions you may have on the new proposed by-laws to: President@SteenburgLake.com .  Thank you.

Please note, the following message was received from the Deputy Clerk of the Township of Tudor and Cashel regarding the long anticipate construction work to extended the culvert and widen the South Road.

Good afternoon Pat,

Would you be able to get a message out to residents that Danford Construction plan to complete the culvert extension work during the first week of December…. No specific date as yet as they are going to monitor the weather closer to then and we will provide a further update at that time, wanted to give everyone a heads up for now though.  They expect to be two days completing the work.

I will be putting this on our website and facebook page but suspect you have a more direct page for residents.

Many thanks,

Sheryl Switzer

PLEASE TAKE  NOTE!!!

Effective immediately, the North AED unit and Naloxone kit have been relocated to 1035a Steenburg Lake North Road, the boat launch.  Selena and James have graciously agreed to host the unit going forward now that they live year round at the lake.  Signage has been moved to their driveway entrance and a larger sign is by the shore.

If you believe someone is experiencing sudden cardiac arrest, and may need the help of an AED, call 911 first, then call 905-441-3202 yo arrange pick up.

The South AED remains unchanged at the Hills home at 456 the South Road, and can be contacted at 905-716-5532.

Complete information on both AEDs can be found at:

The SLCA would like to thank Mike and Donna Cochrane for their years of hosting the North AED and their original efforts to secure a unit for the lake.  We’d also like to thank and acknowledge Carl and Mary Lou Stefanski for taking over the AED the last two winters. 

Stay fit this fall! All are welcome to participate in the Tudor & Cashel sponsored Zumba class on Tuesday mornings and Chair Yoga on Thursdays at the Community Centre.

Thank you so much to Fred Cotie and his many friends and neighbours for another wonderful afternoon of musical entertainment on the lake.

As suggested at the performance, donations in support of the Back the CAT campaign for the North Hasting Hospital in Bancroft.  Funds are being raised for the purchase of a critically needed CAT-scam machine.  The Hospital is well within reach but still needs our help.

If you enjoyed today’s concert, or even if you missed it but understand the need, you can make a donation directly at:

https://nhhfd.ca/donation

Multiple options for payment are available as are income tax receipts.

If a memo field is available, please reference the Have-a-Dock Jamboree on Steenburg Lake.  Thank you in advance for your generosity and support.

Though the Labour Day weekend is considered by many as the last weekend of sumner, I assure it is not.  It may be the end of school vacations, but the forecast for this weekend will be top notch.  Don’t let the odd tree starting to change colour discourage you.

Your SLCA and some of your very generous snd talented neighbours have a very exciting weekend planned for you.  

Saturday afternoon starting at 2 pm, we have the return of the Have-a-Dock Jamboree, one of Steenburg Lake’s longest running events.  Anchor off the Kotie’s dock (727 the North Road) and be prepare to be entertained by some truly talented performers.

Sunday afternoon/evening will be the much anticipated return of the end-of-season pig roast BBQ for SLCA members and their registered guests.  There has been a huge response so it should be a great event!

Steenburg Lake merchandise will be on sale again after the dinner in case you are still looking for something.

 Please note, updated AED fridge magnets will be available at the Pig Roast.  Due to a printing error, we ask that you bring any magnets you may have received earlier during canvassing, to exchange for the latest, updated ones.  Those distributed at this year’s AGM are the most current ones.  If you’re not sure, bring it along anyways and we can verify you have the right one. 

As important as it is to have the most accurate and up to date information in the event of an emergency when seconds count, we also want to avoid having the old information out there, and we want to make sure these old magnets get repurposed properly, so please bring them with you to swap out.

Finally, if you haven’t yet paid your annual SLCA membership fee of just $30, please take care of that right away so we can continue to bring great events and critical programming to the lake we love!

Have a great long weekend and I look forward to seeing as many of you as I can.  Stay safe always!

The North Hastings Fund Development Committee would like to convey our sincere thanks for the $325.00 donation from the Artisan’s show that’s was held on July 29th at Karl and Janet Sobatka’s home on Steenburg Lake North road.

This event was organized by Lynn Rusaw and there were 20 vendors. Hamburgers, hotdogs and French fries were sold to the visitors and $325.00 was raised for the CT scanner.

It was a fun way to meet new people and catch up with old and new neighbours. Thank you to all who participated in this worthwhile event!

This equipment will save lives!
