There have been many sightings of bears reported by
cottagers on both Loon & Turtle Lakes, in the past few weeks. The
Ministry of Natural resources is urging cottagers to be "bear aware"
and to work together to avoid attracting bears. On our cottage roads,
there have been many instances of littered garbage and this is attracting
the bears. The littering could be prevented if you or guests would take
the garbage to the dump or if you are using the garbage pick-up it should
be put out on the morning of collection (Wednesday) - not on Sunday
night. Also, consider rinsing containers before disposal and recycling.
Additional information is available through MNR either by calling at 705
687-8747 or visiting their website - www.mnr.gov.on.ca/MNR/bears

the purpose of distributing Loon & Turtle Lake news. This is a real
cost savings as we can do more for less. If you have received this newsletter

please send it to our Webmaster at loonturtle@rogers.com
