The Salvation Army Food Drive was a great success this year! Not only was this event for a worthy cause but several volunteers managed to have their efforts count towards community volunteer hours for high school.
Many thanks to Susan Benson for organizing and thanks to those that helped to make this event a success!
Today (August 5th) the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) posted the Sturgeon Point Public Beach because of a suspected Blue-Green algae bloom. If you visit the Public Beach, you’ll notice a warning sign posted to the garbage bin.  “Posting” means that using the lake water or swimming in the lake may pose a health risk. Although the Upper Wharf area has no sign announcing the posting, you should assume that the posting applies that location as well as any private waterfront properties here in Sturgeon Point.
This event will be of interest to all you history buffs out there. Liane Kennedy will be presenting a talk entitled “The Development of Sturgeon Point and some of the Early Families”. This will be a one-hour presentation starting at 9:30 a.m. at the Sturgeon Point Union Church. See you there!
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!
