The Haliburton County Waste Wizard is available in all four municipalities on iOS and Android devices, as well as web browsers. After selecting a municipality, users can search the app’s database of common household waste items to find out what goes where. According to Melissa Murray, environmental coordinator for Algonquin Highlands and project lead, the app could play a key part in the fight to effectively manage garbage and recycling. “It’s another important tool in our toolbox - we’re trying to bring together as many resources that we can,” Murray said. While the app’s main function is garbage sorting, users can also find landfill hours and be alerted to household hazardous waste days, landfill closures and more. The app was developed by Recollect, a company that specializes in customized recycling and waste management tools. Murray said that while Recollect produced the nuts and bolts of the app, several municipal staff were involved in the project. “Collaborating on anything is always a The new Haliburton County Waste Wizard is available on mobile devices and web browsers.

Dear editor, I listened to the discussion about the ‘shoreline protection’ presented by the consultants. [At the County council meeting June 23]. You [Algonquin Highlands Mayor Carol Moffatt] correctly made a few comments about stakeholders that did require some discussion. I am the president of our lake association and our members are approximately 40 per cent of lake property owners. You are correct we do not necessarily represent the views of the non-members (or even all of the members) even though they get the benefits of the work we do with the fees from the members. You stated that council, unlike lake associations, represent all the property owners. Let’s consider that. I am sure that you and the other councillors were not elected by 100 per cent of the voters. In fact, there may not have been even 50 per cent of the eligible voters that voted at all. However, we give the decision-making for the whole to the elected council who were elected by the few. Those who voted for others, or who did not vote at all, have to live with your decisions. If they want to oppose, they can do so individually or organize a group to represent their opposing views. The argument you make about the lake associations can be made about the business groups and commerce groups as well. I am currently quite involved in responding to the MNRF request for input on their potential amendment to allow Henry J. Stronks captured this image of a blue heron very focused and “on the hunt” on the shores of East Moore Lake in Minden Hills them to dispose of the Crown land on early in the morning on July 1.

They have released a survey that will run all summer. Spokesman Tim Bahr said the lakes, which include Kash, Head, Grass, Soyers and Canning, are a vital part of the Highlands’ outdoors community. “The HHOA is dedicated to maintaining and enhancing local fisheries and fish environments,” Bahr said. “This survey is designed to gather information on the fishing experiences of lake residents and other people who fish the chain. The results will be used to support efforts to improve fishing and fish habitat on the Kash chain.” Bahr, who has had a cottage on Canning Lake for 25 years, said it was only this past April that the HHOA began tracking Walleye spawning for the first time in 10 years on two sections of the Drag River under a Walleye Watch program.

Editor’s note: This is the third instalment of a fictional series entitled Harp on the Trail. It’s written by Hope Thompson, who lives in Algonquin Highlands. Chapter 3: Finding things Detective Harry Harp and Constable Terry Becker drove into a small parking area at the Crawford entrance to the trail. An officer in a cruiser blocked the trailhead and they waved to her, then slipped under a line of police tape and set off along the wide- open path. Unlike the Spruce trailhead, which was a gravel bed, the Crawford end was lined with wood chips like a nature trail. An overgrown field dotted with flowering mulleins lay on one side and on the other, the backs of several residential houses. In one, a dog was tied up and when it saw the two men and picked-up their scent, the animal barked and tugged at its rope. The two men picked up their pace. The sun broke through some of the cloud cover and Harp felt a warm breeze on his face as he walked past the field and the dog’s yapping finally died down. The trail curved and as the two men rounded the corner, pine trees loomed up around them and the distant sounds of the village of Crawford were replaced by the forest’s twitching silence. Harp walked on a few paces then stopped and turned around. “Good place to kill someone,” the detective said. “It’s a nature trail—but yeah.” Becker said, looking around and frowning. A hundred feet in front of them, the trail disappeared in a curtain of trees. Behind them was a similar view. The bed of woodchips was gone, too. The path under their feet had narrowed to a single file track and the men gingerly stepped over caked mud and rocks while inhaling the smells of rot and vegetation—the life and death of the the table in front of her. heard the rumours about a body ...” board hung over a desk and was pinned forest.
