As the official start of summer nears, the planning for this year’s Regatta is already in full swing. The Regatta will take place on Saturday, August 1 (Civic Holiday Long Weekend). Our Regatta convenor this year is Scott Weldon. Please see contact details below if you have any questions.
All of the details below will guide you through the Regatta Events, Raffle Donations, and how to purchase your Regatta Dinner and Raffle Tickets using our Long Point Website. Reminder emails and printed communications will also be distributed over the next several weeks with key dates and helpful updates on the day's activities.

The mini marathon starts at 9:00 a.m. sharp at the Tennis Courts. All ages and participants are welcome!
Afternoon Events Schedule Reminder - Child & Adult Field Events Start First
The afternoon event program for the past few years has successfully started with the children’s field events (running, wheelbarrow) and adult Balloon / Shoe Toss, streamlining the afternoon program in a big way. A schedule of events sheet will be distributed to every cottage in advance, including a QR code for mobile access to the events schedule, so please check your mailboxes as we get closer to Regatta day.

Another Successful Centre Lands Cleanup!
A big thank you to everyone who came out for our second Centre Lands Cleanup on Friday, June12. While this crew was a bit smaller - with nine volunteers - we made great progress and enjoyed plenty of good company along the way.
The team powered through to finish work along Maple Avenue and clear the Maple Trail, marking a major step toward completing the cleanup.
Volunteering makes a meaningful difference - not only in maintaining the beauty of the Long Point Centre Lands, but also in building connections and strengthening our community.
Thank you again to everyone who contributed their time and energy!
Road Dust Levels Expected to Improve Soon
The City of Kawartha Lakes has experienced an equipment failure, which has temporarily delayed its regular grading and dust suppression schedule.
City officials assure us that crews are working to get back on track, with dust suppression application expected to be completed by the end of July, if not sooner.
Fire Burn Index
The fire burn index in Kawartha Lakes remains HIGH. Please use extreme caution when burning. For the most up-to-date burn hazard conditions call 1-888-822-2225, then press 8.
