Once again, it is that time of year where hockey players of all shapes and sizes, come together to strap on the skates, tape the sticks, and skate like the wind.
For those of you who haven’t participated before, we use 3/4’s of the rink for shinny and 1/4 for recreational skaters, little ones and UN observers. We play 5 minute periods split between younger skaters (roughly 12 and under) and the rest of the motley crew. This keep the little ones out of harms way and the old guys get a break every five minutes to catch their breath.
Here are the details, please share them with anyone you think that might be interested in joining in the fun and games.
The times are as follows:
Tuesday Dec 28: 2-4 PM
Wednesday Dec 29:Â 2:30-4:30 PM
Thursday Dec 30: 3-5 PM.
Located at the Fenelon Falls Arena.
This a great deal, just $20 for families $10 for singles / day.
Having seen the pace of play in years gone by, I recommend the use helmets for one and all. Trust me you won’t be the only one out there sporting protection.
See you on the ice.
Special thanks goes out to Larry Thomas who has been instrumental in the organization of this fun event each year.
The frame supporting the village sign at the entrance to Sturgeon Point has been replaced. The old wooden frame was barely standing, although the sign itself remained in good condition. A new steel frame was fabricated and installed by Cottrell & Krell, a local metal working and mechanical shop. The frame includes an additional mounting feature below the main sign, providing more opportunities for signage in the future. The original painted sign was freshened up by John Lyon, the artist who created the sign many years ago.
You might notice that the sign has a little more visibility than it did before. This is because the sign now stands a little higher off of the ground, and the area around the sign has been cleaned up too. As a final touch, one thoughtful neighbour has added some holiday decorations to the sign – thank you Maureen!
A significant part of the funding for this project was provided through a matching grant from the CoKL’s  Community Partnership and Development Fund.
The Sturgeon Point Association’s AGM will be held on Sunday, Sept. 5th at 10:00 a.m. at the Union Church. The meeting will start with a short presentation about the black bears in our community. A representative of the MNR will be on hand to make the presentation, and the discussion will include safety and accident prevention. The AGM will then proceed, following the normal agenda. This will include the nomination of new board members and discussions about recent issues facing the community and plans for the coming year.
The documentation for the meeting, including the minutes of last year’s AGM and this year’s financial statements, can be downloaded by clicking on this link. Refreshments will be provided after the meeting. This is the last event of the summer. Hope to see you there!
