Bear in Sturgeon Point

Victor — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 19:19:01 +0000

This morning (Sunday, August 8 ) a black bear was spotted in a tree behind the Sturgeon Point Union Church. The bear was discovered at about 7:30 a.m., and left the scene two hours later, missing Desmond Howard’s sermon at the church by 30 minutes. The bear obviously had other places to be.

The photos shown here were taken by Cacky Phipps and family, who watched the bear from their cottage. Thanks to Cacky for making them available.

This is a good time to remind everyone to beware of bears, and to give them plenty of respect. If you see a bear and believe that it poses a possible threat you can call the BEAR REPORTING LINE at 1-866-514-2327. For life threatening emergencies call 911.

Following a few simple steps can help reduce the chances of human-bear interactions. One of the most important is to reduce the smell of garbage in our village by keeping garbage in closed containers and not putting it out until the night before or morning of garbage pick-up. To learn more about black bears and what you can do to reduce the potential for danger from them, please visit the MNR’s BEARWISE web site.

Sturgeon Point Road Report – Canada Day Weekend

Victor — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 14:32:27 +0000

As many of you have no doubt noticed, on Canada Day Lake Road was transformed into a brand new east-west route along our shore. Smooth and black, it will be easier on our vehicle shock absorbers and hotter under bare feet in the summer. The Royel Paving crew worked hard to complete this stage of the work before the weekend. The short strip along Irene between Sixth St. and Lake Road will be paved on Monday. Rain had left it too soft to pave on Thursday. Royel will be back to clean up the edges of the road where the gravel is banked too high, and they will remove the stakes and pylons that mark the edge of the roadway.
We look forward to further road maintenance on our side streets next year.
