The Kawartha Lakes Stewards Association is having their Annual General Meeting on October 1st, 10:00 a.m. at the Lakehurst Hall (979 Lakehurst Circle Road). The KLSAÂ does excellent work promoting and funding a better understanding of the ecology of our lake and the lakes in our region. The Algae Workshop that we hosted this past summer was sponsored by the KLSA, and they were the recipient of a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to run the Algae Research program to study the algae in our lakes. Blue Green algae will certainly be a topic of discussion at the meeting. There will be a number of additional presentations at this meeting. If you have any interest in these matters, please come out and participate. For a more complete description along with directions, please download the meeting announcement.

Al Horsman, CAO for the City of Kawartha Lakes to speak at the AGM
Al Horsman, the City of Kawartha Lakes new Chief Adminstrative Officer (CAO), has graciously accepted our invitation and agreed to speak at SPA’s upcoming AGM. There will be a short question and answer period following the presentation and an opportunity to talk with Al after the meeting. The AGM will be held on September 4th at the Union Church. The meeting gets underway at 10:00 a.m.
As the CAO, Al deals with the day-to-day operations of the City and reports to Council, providing them with the information they need to make decisions. Al has stepped into a key role at an important time in the evolution of the City. This will be an excellent opportunity for Sturgeon Pointers to meet the new CAO and for Al
to get to know a little more about Sturgeon Point. Everyone is welcome to attend. Hope to see you there!
Blue-Green Algae Warning Rescinded
The Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit rescinded the precautionary warning previously issued for the eastern leg of Sturgeon Lake. The Public Beach is no longer posted. The water certainly appears to be clearer than it was two weeks ago.
The warning was issued back on August 5th, and so had been in place for one day short of three weeks. Now we have to hope for a return to warm weather before these last days of summer fade into history.
