Due to current conditions the Municipality of Trent Lakes has issued a ban on all open-air burning effective August 5, 2025.  This ban suspends all approved Open Air Burning Permits.

 

This ban includes the following and will remain in effect until further notice to ensure public safety:

Citizens are further reminded that all smoking materials should be fully extinguished before being discarded in proper non-combustible containers.

Trent Lakes Fire Rescue would like to thank all citizens for their anticipated co-operation during this ban. We would also like to remind citizens that any person found to be conducting open air burning in contravention of the ban, is guilty of an offence and subject to penalties outlined in B2023-053 Section 4.1.

Spring has Sprung

The weather this winter was great for snowmobiling and all the winter sports! Our daughter Heather was able to show off a good old fashion winter to her Australian boyfriend Ryan.  A few boats have hit the water already with the water access customers eager to check out the damage that was done by the ice storm.   It’s nice to start seeing some familiar faces back up enjoying cottage country and the nice weather will be here soon.  We can only hope that the bugs will stay in hiding.

Our team is ready to take on the boat season.  If you would like to make arrangements to get your boat out of storage, please email amanda@littlegullmarina.ca with at least 2 weeks notice (14 days) and she will get you in the queue!  She will always reply with a confirmation, so if you don’t hear back, definitely follow up in case the email got lost in cyberspace.  Please also let us know if your plans change and you won’t be coming up your planned weekend.

We are still collecting corks and pop can tabs, you are welcome to drop them by anytime that we are open, which currently is 9am-5pm closed the first Sunday in May!

Burn Permits are to be completed online . Please remember to continue calling in before and after each burn, and only have fires when it is safe to do so.

Looking forward to seeing you all up at the lake.
