Visitors' Guide - Deadline Now

I'm working on this year's version of the Visitors' Guide (to see a copy of last year's, click here)  

I've contacted the existing advertisers directly, but if there's anyone who would like to go in, who I haven't yet contacted, please get back to me by the end of this week. 

We need to get it out as soon as possible.  Thanks!

Last Weekend for Yard Waste Burn

This weekend is your last chance to get your fire permit and burn your yard waste if you haven't already done so during the last six months. We have moved up to MODERATE risk and are drying out quickly. 

Evening campfire permits will still be available through May online or at the recycle/waste centre on Wed and Sat during yard hours.
