Reminder that this year’s, Halloween festivities take place on Saturday, October 24th. The event starts at 11am at the Park and the Boo Crew is planning a fun-filled day including pumpkin carving and face painting. Later at 6pm, kids and the young at heart can follow the treat trail map to collect their Halloween loot.
Are you or yours participating in this year’s Halloween festivities? Let us know by filling out the Halloween sign up form.
Speaking of the Boo Crew…
Halloween at the Point doesn’t happen by magic, although it might appear that way. We need volunteers to join this year’s Boo Crew and help bring Halloween at the Point to life. Whether you can lend a hand with decorating, set-up, activities or clean-up, we’d love to have you.
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.
Three Sturgeon Point Residents Receive King Charles III Coronation Medals
We are thrilled to share that on March 19th, three members of the Sturgeon Point community were awarded the prestigious King Charles III Coronation Medal:
Tim Wisener
Lynne Manning
Chris Appleton
The Coronation Medal commemorates the crowning of His Majesty King Charles III as King of Canada and is awarded to individuals who have made a significant contribution to Canada, their province or region, or who have brought honour to our country through outstanding achievements abroad.
With only 30,000 medals awarded across the country, it is an incredible honour – and a point of pride for Sturgeon Point – that three of our own were recognized for their extraordinary volunteer contributions.
Please join us in congratulating Tim, Lynne, and Chris on this well-deserved national recognition. Your service and dedication is inspiring.
