Even after all this time, we still marvel at this beautiful area. We love wandering through town and seeing our friends and neighbours out and about. Though we were walking through the village last night and we passed passed a hot fudge sundae, a lemon cheesecake and a slice of apple pie. It was unusual to see the area so strangely desserted. Did you know that before moving to Manitoulin, one half of Team Fergmeijer lived on a houseboat? She fell in love with the boy next door, but it didn’t last. They just drifted apart.
The community rink is officially open for business! We are so grateful to all the volunteers that put so much time and effort into making and maintaining the ice surface. Please take care to store any equipment off the ice when you are done and make sure the lights are turned off before you leave if using it after dark.

Happy birthday to Kagawongian Jenna C who is celebrating her 29th year. We also send warm birthday wishes to former Kagawongian Susie D who is once again celebrating her birthday in Calgary. Also celebrating his birthday is Kagawong-adjacent Roy R. We aren’t sure how birthdays work in his neck of the woods, but will just assume he’s turning 29. To all of you, some advice as you get another year older - remember, your worth is not tied to your ability to fold a fitted sheet. Just roll it up, stuff it in the closet and get on with your big day!
