The Cemetery looks very cold, snowy and quiet at the moment. However, behind the scenes there is a lot of work going on. The Board has grandiose plans for the preservation and future growth of the Cemetery that will take a great deal of work to accomplish. One of the core values that all of us share is to remember and honor the people that are buried in Robertson Cemetery. Starting next week we will start publishing a weekly FB post remembering a person that is buried in the Cemetery. We would love to have you interact with our posts and help us to remember our friends and loved ones!

Did you know that aquatic invasive species can spread by hitching a ride on your boat? That’s why rules and regulations are in place in Ontario for recreational boaters and why it’s always important to Clean, Drain, and Dry your boat before moving it between waterbodies.

It’s the Law:
✅Before transporting overland, CLEAN any plants, animals, or algae from your watercraft, trailer, and equipment.
✅DRAIN by removing drain plugs (e.g., transom, bilge, motor, live-well, ballast) to allow water to drain from the watercraft.
Go above and beyond:
✅DRY the watercraft and gear completely between trips and allow wet areas to air dry. Consider CLEANING with hot and/or pressurized water.

From a member:
Does anyone need barge work done on Lower Beverley this spring.? I have hired Todd Grier from Landsdown to upgrade our gray water system on Whiskey Island and I am hoping to find someone in need of similar services so we can share the cost of launching his barge. Please contact me at 520 204 9235. Thanks, Philip Schroeder.

As reported by FOCA to members last year, Transport Canada has made it effective January 6, 2026 that all boats’ Pleasure Craft Licenses (PCL) now have an expiry date, and a $24 fee applies to new, renewed, transferred, or replaced PLCs.

Important note: this is different than the “Pleasure Craft Operator Card” that is issued in your name; this is for your boat(s) and a copy must be carried on board at all times.

If you have a boat that was licensed in 1974 or earlier, you must 'renew' by March 31st this year, or face fines. If licensed between 1975 and 1985, you have until the end of 2026, etc. The new standard will be a 5-year renewal period for PLCs. Get all the details - including a renewal deadline chart by boat license date – from our partners at CanBoat, from a link in the “Latest News” on FOCA’s webpage: https://foca.on.ca/boating/

Emergent plants are the guardians of the shoreline. Arrowhead, cattails, pickerelweed, and others anchor soil, buffer the shore from wave action, and act as waterfowl and muskrat habitat.
