2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM)

7/8/2024

0 Comments

 
​Our 2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Sunday, August 18th at 10am. This year our meeting will be hybrid.  You can join one of two ways:
  • In-person – Cavendish Community Center, or
  • via Zoom – our hope is that we will be able to offer Zoom participants a video experience, however this is our first time doing this so there is a possibility that it may be only seen via audio.

​Given the uncertainty of the Internet connection at the Cavendish Community Center, we recommend you attend in person if possible.

A copy of our presentation will be issued to all members in advance. If you have any specific agenda items or questions which you would like us to cover, please let us know by Friday, July 12th so that we have an opportunity to include in our presentation. 

Please send these to: [email protected].

Kind Regards,
MGLCR Board

April Road Update

4/23/2024

0 Comments

 
We would like to share a few updates with you:

Don Bartley – Road Superintendent
Effective immediately, we wish to inform you that Don Bartley has left the MCLCR Board after serving 5 years as Road Superintendent. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Don for his outstanding contribution to our Board and especially to our Road. Don’s experience and pragmatic approach were incredibly valuable to our Board and he played a significant role in helping us navigate many challenges over the years.

MCGCR Board Recruitment
As a result of Don’s departure and several other vacancies, we are looking for 3 additional Board members.   One of these Board positions is effective immediately and will have an 18-month term. The other 2 positions will start after the August AGM and will have a full 3-year term.

We would like to be clear that it is our desire to have a geographic representation on our Board – this means members who are from as many different Spurs as possible.   One of the challenges with achieving this goal is recruitment – it is often difficult to find willing candidates from some of the Spurs without representation.  So, if you are on any of the following Spurs and haven’t previously been on the Board, please consider volunteering.  Specific call out to the following Spurs who are currently not represented:
  • Spur 1
  • Spur 2
  • Spur 3
  • Spr 4
  • Spur 5
  • Spur 6, and
  • Spur 7

If you are interested in joining our Board, please reach out to [email protected] to obtain more information.  It is a great way to meet individuals from a different part of the lake and contribute to making access to our lake network as safe as possible. 

Spring Maintenance Program
As mentioned in previous emails, this past winter with the Thaw Freeze Thaw cycle was quite difficult for our Road. Special thanks to Wes Lake and Al Mansel for their speedy response to helping us remediate the damaged spots on our road.  Over the next number of weeks, you may continue to see many potholes.   We will be grading on a regular basis to minimize the impact. 

We’d also like to once again remind you to watch your speed and drive slowly down our road.

Spur Garbage Clean-Up
A special thank you to Derek and Kelly Woodward who have picked up garbage along the main road.  If your cottage or place of residence is on one of the Spurs, please consider organizing a garbage pick up day for your respective Spur.

2024 AGM
We know some of you are interested in knowing when the next AGM will be held.  We are planning to share further details in the next month as we work through some logistic issues.  Stay tuned!


That’s it for now. 
Kind Regards,

MGLCR Board

Dangerous Soft Spot-on Spur 1A

4/14/2024

0 Comments

 
Please be advised that there is an extremely soft spot-on Spur 1A.  This morning, a car got stuck there. We have arranged for our contractor to add more gravel and remediate on a more permanent basis tomorrow morning. If possible, we recommend you avoid the Spur until after Al has fixed it. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.  The heavy rain over the last few days has exacerbated an already tenuous situation. 

Kind Regards

MGLCR Board
