We Did It!!

Thanks to the generous support of the Harris Lake & South Magnetawan River community, we have achieved our HLSMR Fire Committee fundraising goal of $8,000!

What an amazing community we have. A huge thank you to everyone who donated cash and/or materials to help us achieve this lofty goal. With your support we have taken a huge step towards ensuring the safety of our lake, our volunteer firefighters, and preventing another terrible loss like we saw this past summer.

If you are still thinking of donating, it is never too late and the need never ends. Visit the website for details (https://www.hlsmr.org/fire-fundraising)

We would also like to thank you for all your support throughout the year. The Harris lake community is truly something special to belong to.

Thank you all and have a wonderful holiday season.

Climate Change and Cottage Country

May 04, 2016/ BRIAN MCLELLAN

Over the last several years there has been a lot of attention directed towards climate change and how it will effect the climate of the planet as a whole. The Muskoka Watershed Council developed a comprehensive report on how climate change is expected to effect the Muskoka region of Ontario. This report can easily be applied to changes that HLSMR and its members could expect over time as we adjust to a more varied climate. Our use of the lake and river system and managing water levels will become more and more important over time to preserve our slice of paradise in the woods.

You can read the full report here:
