Again this year we will celebrate our community at Carla’s, 486 ch Grand Poisson Blanc at LSM.

This year’s entertainment is provided by a fiddler named Yves Langlois, sausages, sauerkraut, a cake and of course, corn. Also, Phil Cavali Jr, is giving us some of the sausages in honour of his parents who adored our lake.

PLEASE BRING A SALAD (small or medium) or a vegetable dish with dip.

A cash donation would be greatly appreciated by your friends to cover our costs.

  • In November: MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL ELECTION

It’s known to most cottage owners do not participate in large numbers at elections. We must stop feeling sorry for ourselves if we do not vote. If we choose the right candidates, our projects will go faster. Pierre proposes to present somes candidates who are receptive to our requests, the rest is in your hands.
