• Road Debenture

- The Association monitors the Road Debenture funds and in discussions with the Township has affected some positive changes in the collection and allocation of these funds. The debenture was renewed for Jan. 2007. Individuals wishing to make a lump sum payment for the balance of the road debt were allowed to do so. The details of the new debenture were shared in the spring.


• Fire / Safety

- The SRA purchases and maintains fire pumps and fire extinguishers. We have volunteers available to assist residents by teaching them how to use the pumps and how to best prepare themselves in case of fire.


• Water Quality

- Members of the Association test the water every two weeks during July and August and this information is made available to the community. Learning about and protecting the environment is a major focus for the SRA.


• Communication

- The SRA publishes two newsletters a year covering Association, community, and personal news items. We hold our Annual General Meeting the first Sunday of August which our councillor, Gary French, attends and subsequently follows up on residents’ concerns.


• Georgian Bay Association Membership

- By a unanimous decision at the Annual Meeting in 2006, we have sought and been accepted for associate membership in the Georgian Bay Association thereby joining with more than 18,000 cottagers and permanent residents to impact all levels of the government regarding issues that effect the environment of the Bay.


• Social Events

- And last but not least, our popular social events will continue in 2010.
