Charge for Beach Walk-onsThe Saugeen Band is now charging a $3.00 fee for people walking or riding bicycles onto the beach at the manned booth entrances. Cottagers may show their 2011 landfill card in lieu of this payment. This card was mailed to all cottagers who paid their service fees. Cottagers are permitted to laminate their cards so they will last longer if they get wet or sandy You and your family and guests are asked to show up at the booth in the morning, and get stamped on the back of the hand – you can then enter the beach at any time that day, as long as the stamp does not wear off in the water. This is a bit complicated, but we are told that the Band isworking on it and will find a better way next year. If cottagers have any questions, please call Cory King at 519-797-3092

A Letter to Members of SCOIMarch 2011Dear Friends, We have all been waiting many months for a new lease and it was just this week approved in its final form by the Band Council. Within the next few weeks each cottager will receive your own copy of the lease, and you will be asked to sign it by the first of May. You will notice that the lease is only for 10 years, a much shorter term than we recommended, However, the 7% in the yearly cost of the lease for the next 5 years is much better than the increase has been in prior years. Also, you will notice that there is an option for an additional 2 month in residence, if cottagers so desire, at an additional cost. It is recommended that, if you have any problems with this lease, please contact your own lawyer for advice. Herman Roote, the Band Leasing Manager can answer any questions that you may have. On behalf of the SCOI Board of Directors, we hope that you all enjoy another 10 years of cottaging on the Bruce.
Yours sincerely,
Who Do I Call?The Town of South Bruce Peninsula Community Policing Committee has published a brochure that may be of interest to our members. The document is in 2 sections. See page 1 and page 2.
