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.

Harris Lake Dam

August 14, 2022/ BRIAN MCLELLAN

Here is an update regarding the Harris lake Dam. Construction activities on the Harris Lake Dams have commenced and should conclude around November 7th.

Part of the construction will include closing the snowmobile trail to motor and pedestrian traffic while work is occurring on the plug dam that the trail travels over. This closure will be temporary while the plug dam area is an active construction site.

Impacts to water levels as a result of construction are not anticipated. Lower than normal water levels are expected should the dry weather continue as higher water levels may occur if we begin to receive significant rainfall like last summer.

The contractor will be utilizing the public boat launch on Crown land but the launch will remain accessible to the public for the duration of the project.
