With school starting up again this week, we were troubled to hear a sad story from one of the local children. “On my first day of school, my parents dropped me off at the wrong nursery. There I was, surrounded by trees…” But it turned out alright - we heard the staff at JD’s were very understanding.
Trees were planted this past week as part of the Manitoulin Streams Improvement Association’s (MSIA) work on the Kagawong River. Part of the river trail is still closed as they finish up four-laning the river for the autumn salmon run.
We knew something fishy was going on when the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) van pulled into town… turns out together with the United Fish and Game Clubs of Manitoulin (UFGCM), they were stocking Lake Kagawong with over 2,400 walleye!

As the days shorten and the nights become cooler, I find myself engaged in mindfulness. My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far I have finished two bags of M&Ms, and a slice of chocolate cake. I’m feeling better already.
