Sturgeon Point Association AGM

by

This Sunday, (September 1st) is the Sturgeon Point Association’s Annual General Meeting – 10:00am @ the Church.

We encourage all community members to attend and participate. 

At this year’s meeting we will be discussing many important topics such as the leaf dump, the Upper Wharf, and the future direction of the Sturgeon Point Association. 

There will also be community reports by the trustees and about the water system.

Our Councillor Brian Junkin will be there to talk to us about the City of Kawartha Lakes and to answer any of your questions – maybe about our roads?!

We are also hoping to have Mark Fisher, the Chief Administrative Officer of the City of Kawartha Lakes to talk to us about the direction the City is taking.

We hope all can come up to this important meeting to get informed on what is going on in our community and our city.  The Sturgeon Point Association believes this is a great chance to hear the communities views and opinions.

After the meeting, there will be refreshments served.

Also, anyone who hasn’t picked up their 175th Anniversary T-shirt or pennant, can do so at the meeting.

FROG JOG is this weekend!!!

by
The 2st Annual Sturgeon Point FROG JOG, will be held on August 10, at 9:00am.
This is a 5 km FUN Run/Walk and 1 km kid’s run/walk around the village.
We will start off with the 1km route first for the kids, followed by the 5K race about 9:20am for those who may want to do both. This event will be a great opportunity to get together for a tour around the Point. 

The FROG JOG will start and finish at the Park.
There will be finishers’ ribbons and a prize draw at the finish line afterwards, and refreshments and snacks will be provided. This event is open to everyone, and participants can complete the course at their own pace.

Advanced registration is not required, donations for the local food bank on race day would also be appreciated.

The organization of this event is being spearheaded by Rosemary Stochel. She is looking for volunteers to act as race marshals, and to help out with the water station and distribute finish line refreshments. Please email rosemarystochel (at) hotmail (dot) com if you can help out at the event.
