Rain Shelter Restoration – A Community Effort

by

There’s good news from the Upper Wharf.

The historic rain shelter – originally built in 1903 and designated a heritage site – just received a much-needed new roof.

Thanks to the generosity and hard work of Andrew Dunnette and Andrew Wilson, materials and labour have been largely donated to help replace the failing roof and protect the structure.

This is just the beginning. Future work will include restoring the woodwork, reinforcing the foundation, and preserving the distinctive architectural details that make this building so special.

The shelter has stood for 123 years – with care, it will continue to serve the Point for generations to come.

Stay tuned for updates and opportunities to support the next phase of restoration!

2026 Membership Update

by

SPA is currently operating at a deficit. Like many organizations, we are facing rising costs associated with maintaining our shared spaces and social events.

To help address this, membership fees have been modestly increased for 2026.

Updated Membership Fees

  • Early Bird (on or before June 28): $50
  • New Membership Fees (after June 28) : $60
  • Per adult (18+) in each household

Why Membership Matters

SPA is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization that maintains and operates many of the spaces that define life at the Point — including the park, beach, Upper Wharf, and leaf dump.

Membership fees directly support:

  • Maintenance and repairs of shared spaces
  • Infrastructure improvements
  • Leaf dump operations
  • Community events like Canada Day, Civic Weekend, and Halloween in the Park

Simply put, membership keeps the Point running.

A Shared Responsibility

Sturgeon Point is what it is because of the people who show up — to volunteer, to participate, and to contribute.

If you’ve already renewed, thank you.
If not, we encourage you to do so early and help support the season ahead.
