(OK, Summer Newsletter) We have had input from many sources including Stakeholder Group for the Kawartha Highlands (SGKH); Municipality of Trent Lakes, Cavendish Community Ratepayers Association and Parks Canada Summer Newsletter 2016 Page 1 of 17 Mississagua District Cottager’s Association Swimming Lessons Little Gull is hosting swimming lessons again this year. There are three different two week sessions: Session 1 July 5-15, Session 2 July 19-29, Session 3 August 2-12 All sessions run Tuesday to Friday mornings. For more information, click here. Annual Regatta We invite everyone out to the annual MDCA Regatta on August 13th. 2016 starting at 1:00 PM at Little Gull Marina. The regatta offers races for all ages and is open to all cottagers on our lake system. Annual membership fees include participation in the regatta. There has been talk of adding a sailing event to the regatta. If you are interested in participating in this type of event, please email me at [email protected] and let me know what type of craft you have and how many participants would participate. Water Level Update (The following update was provided by Cavendish Community Ratepayers Association; used with permission.) We had a relatively warm winter with limited snow accumulation and an early snow melt. The TSW crews began replacing logs in our dam in early March. By the end of the third week of March the lake was about 70% full, several logs were out of the dam and it appeared that there was lots of storage available for spring rainfall events. However extreme rainfall in the last week of March resulted in a rapid rise in lake levels and river flows. In early April lake levels reached a near 25 year high of 2.73 metres above the sill of our dam, just below the 25 year high of 2.74 m recorded in June 2000 and April 1991. The high levels were reached with heavy ice still on the lakes creating a significant risk for ice damage to shorelines and shoreline structures. Several logs were out of the dam in an attempt to relieve high levels with ice resulting in extremely high levels in the river. The new culvert near the Lou Phillips Road bridge was able to pass the waterflow and the road washout of 2014 was not repeated. TSW maintained the maximum possible flow at the dam to relieve the high levels without any damage. High water levels in March and April 2016 were not restricted to the Mississagua Lake Chain, or even to the Upper Trent Basin. There was flooding and significant ice damage Summer Newsletter 2016 Page 2 of 17 Mississagua District Cottager’s Association across a wide area including the Muskoka lakes where several boathouses were destroyed by ice. The principal cause for the high water levels was heavy rain. The Haliburton monitoring station recorded 171mm of precipitation in March or 238% of the 72mm monthly average, and 73mm of the total fell in the last 5 days of the month. At the Parks Canada precipitation gauge just downstream of our Mississagua Dam recorded 112mm in the final 8 days of March, including 52mm on the 30th and 31st.At the time of writing this note on May 17th the levels on our lakes have come down to near normal for this time of year Note*: At the CCRAIs most recent meeting (June 25, 2016), Ted Spence (CCRAI Board Director and CEWF Chair) gave an excellent update to the above. Essentially, we haven’t had much rain recently and we should be prepared for an earlier draw down on our lakes. Mississagua Lake Dam Replacement Update Also at the CCRAI meeting Darryl Whitehead of Parks Canada updated the status of the new dam to be built on Mississagua Lake*. The new dam will be built immediately next to the existing dam on the south side. The new dam will retain the 3 chute, 8 stop log format. The stepped profile will also be kept to preserve the heritage look of the existing dam. Finally, the height of the walkway will be increased for safety and the overall height of the dam will be lowered for efficacy Construction will require a staging area to be cleared immediately to the west of the concrete walkway. The new dam will be built in phases: • Clear the staging area and access • Build new concrete wings to new dam structure • Build coffer dam around chutes 1 & 2 while chute 3 remains in operation • Build new chutes 1 & 2 • Remove coffer dam around chutes 1 & 2 • Build coffer dam around chute 1 while either chute 2 or 3 becomes operational • Build new chute 1 • Remove old dam The tender is expected to be issued in August with construction beginning in September. *Note: the design is still in the preliminary stage. There is still some environmental work to be done and then the final design. Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park Update Summer Newsletter 2016 Page 3 of 17 Mississagua District Cottager’s Association A meeting of the Stakeholder Groups of the Kawartha Highlands was held on April 18, 2016. The following notes are extracted from the minutes of that meeting. • The Park Superintendent started by highlighting his Team is busy getting ready for another Park Camping Season. He introduced the new Acting Park Biologist • In 2015 there were 22,000 Camper Nights ... up from the 20,000 in 2014. He mentioned it will probably now level off at 22,000. • There are many requests for ‘Hike-To’ sites but that is probably not going to happen for some time. It involves many steps through the ‘Park Management Plan’ for consideration (examples: no compromising the ecological integrity of the Park; the environmental & social capacity; does it measure up to the “Values” criteria in the Park Mgt. Plan; impacts on shorelines; 100 metre buffer zone around private property & LUPs’; no new campsites on naturally producing lake trout lakes; and, so-on). The Park Superintendent will keep the SGKH up-to-date on the ‘Hike-To’ campsite developments and ‘vet’ everything through the SGKH. • The Park Superintendent mentioned that the Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park (KHPP) Stewardship Committee formed in June 2014 has held several educational events including a very successful “Water Testing Seminar/ Workshop” – May 9th, 2015 in partnership with the North Kawartha Lakes Association (NORKLA). Through that event and the networking it provided, a relationship developed with Dr. Paul Frost, Aquatics at Trent University whereby Trent Students worked with Travis Cameron through the summer doing extensive water testing in many Park Lakes to compare results with similar testing that was done in the ‘70’s. Further, Trent is hosting a ‘Research Day’ on April 28th to bring Faculty and Park Staff/Stewardship Committee together to discuss research needs in the Park. Norma Houle, Mississauga/Gold Lakes Cottagers’ Road Group asked if she could get the reports from this testing. • Travis continued to do Turtle awareness education with Township/County grading of the Fire Roads in the Park. Again last year he had a volunteer group that monitored Turtle Eggs with many being incubated into snapping turtles and returned to their original habitat for

  • It's All About
    IT’S ALL ABOUT THE WATER Report of The Panel on the Future of the Trent-Severn Waterway A National Historic Site of Canada MARCH 2008 R Talbot R Acknowledgements Completion of this report would not have been possible without the contributions and assistance of many people. Hundreds of people, organizations and branches and agencies of government made formal presentations at our public meetings and provided us with written briefs. These citizens shared with us their time, their knowledge, their experience, their ideas and particularly their passion. For this we are most grateful. We also salute the more than a thousand people that came out to our public meetings and participated in often lively and always productive discussions. Similarly, the staff of the Parks Canada provided us with enormously valuable assistance and demonstrated without exception their commitment to the future of the waterway. The panel was very well served by six staff members and ably guided by a former Parks Canada Superintendent, Mr. Ken East, as Project Manager and Senior Advisor. Their knowledge, energy and commitment made our work much easier – although they always left us with enough unanswered questions to make our work both challenging and interesting. Our sincere thanks to Ken, Richard Scott, Marnie Clement, Shirley Bond, and students Anu Radha Verma and Roddy Mackenzie. Finally, we salute Bruce Stanton, Member of Parliament for Simcoe North, for his initiative and commitment to a positive future for the Trent-Severn Waterway. It was Bruce’s Private Members Motion that received the unanimous approval of Parliament and launched this evaluation.

    Anstruther Lake Cottagers’ Association Inc. (ALCA) 2021 Spring Newsletter Here we are, April 1st and it looks like an early ice-out. I hope everyone has survived Winter and is eagerly looking forward to another Summer at Anstruther. Your Executive has been busy keeping up with what’s happening with North Kawartha Waste Management; Protecting against Invasive Species; Rebuilding of Sayers Independent Food Store in Apsley; Trends in Boating; Talking to MNRF about fish in Anstruther; MOECP concerning the KHPP Park; and so-on. June 1st – NK Waste Management will be changing to clear bags for garbage at both the transfer station and curbside pick-up. Any items in the garbage that can be recycled will mean the garbage won’t be allowed until the items are removed. NK is the last municipality in Peterborough County to move to clear bags. Protecting against Invasive Species – we have been very fortunate on Anstruther to have avoided Eurasian Milfoil water plants (weeds) which seems to have become very common in Lakes around us. Chandos, Jacks, Big Cedar are dealing with it to the point they are investing significant dollars buying benthic matts to stop the spread and allow swimming off the dock. These invasive typically enter the lake through boats being launched from contaminated lakes without proper cleansing; shorelines that are no longer natural with no buffer of trees/plants/shrubs to absorb runoff; and, septic’s that are malfunctioning. It is also important to be using cleaning/soap products that are phosphate/bleach/chlorine free around the cottage and not soaping up, bathing in the Lake.

  • Kawartha Highlands Signature Site Park Access Road Study
    KAWARTHA HIGHLANDS SIGNATURE SITE PARK ACCESS ROAD STUDY FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY REPORT Prepared By: Stantec Consulting Ltd. For: Ministry of Natural Resources, Ontario Parks August 2008 Ontario Parks Kawartha Highlands Signature Site Park Access Road Study Final Environmental Study Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study investigated alternatives for two potential access roads into Kawartha Highlands Signature Site Park – one from the east side of the park, from Highway 28, and one from the west side, from County Road 507. Project Proposal The Access Road Study was carried out as a Category C project under the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves (2005). The study included an evaluation and consultation process that was carried out in accordance with the Ministry’s requirements under the Environmental Assessment Act in conjunction with (and parallel to) the management planning process for Kawartha Highlands Signature Site Park. The purpose of the future access roads is to provide access to the park that maximizes opportunities for recreational activities within the park, and minimizes potential conflicts between park users and private property owners, while not seriously compromising ecological integrity. Project Alternatives The study required the development of at least three route alternatives from the east, and three route alternatives from the west as well as consideration of the “do nothing alternative”, in accordance with the Class EA process. The three road alternatives identified from the east side of the park were: Using parts of Anstruther Lake Road, to the vicinity of the existing marina; Using Long Lake Road to the existing marina; and Creating a new road towards McGee Lake (through Lot 4 Concession IX ND and Lot 3 Concession IX ND).
