BORDER RESTRICTIONS DROPPED 09/30/2022

Northern Ontario Border Working Group Press Release on the Removal of Border Restrictions

Today, the Northern Ontario Border Working Group circulated a press release to reiterate our support for the Government of Canada to drop the remaining border restrictions. In this press release, NOBWG continued to support the end of the vaccination requirement, end of random testing and making the ArriveCAN app submission optional. 

2023 started off with lower water levels than last year. Last year was unusually high and we could use some of that moisture now. It seems the rain keeps missing us for the most part. There has been a burning ban on for a couple weeks now. The customers are missing sitting around campfires.

The smoke from Ontario fires hasn’t bothered us till today (May 13th). There was no smoke early this morning and then all of a sudden the sky got smokey and the smell of smoke is quite strong. I Quickly checked the fire map and nothing is really close by but the smoke is sure hitting us.

We’ve had very warm weather and then the next day it’s cool. It looks like hot weather is going to hit us again next week with very little chance of rain. The fish don’t seem to mind because large walleye have been caught. Check out the pictures under Fishing.

We had a large storm in the beginning of Sept. by Raven, Sowden and Selwyn. Lot of damage to trees and some property. Had bear hunters out in their stands when it hit. Pretty scarey. They’ll never forget that hunt!
