It is one of our favourite times of year in Billings - the salmon run! We love when we get the chance to sea them jumping up the falls. Of course, no matter how effishiently the salmon might be able to move, it would be an absolute fluke if one of them made it all the way up. Perch-ance if they were able to get suffishently ca-fin-ated before the attempt? We’ll be honest, it might be time to scale back on some of these puns, but they’ve been reely kraken us up.
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Kagawong Fall Market on the weekend! It was a wonderful afternoon for everyone involved.
Here’s an update on what’s happening with the Kagawong Seniors Active Living Program: Fitness with Kelly runs Thursdays from 9-10am, and Monday yoga classes run 9-10am ($5 per class). All activities will be at the Park Centre, and anyone over the age of 55 is welcome to join.
The Seniors Active Living Program is also planning a Gratitude Lunch on Wednesday, October 29th at 11:30am at the Park Centre. Save the date! Come for the food, music, trivia challenge, or to visit with friends. Contact Mary for more information and to reserve your seat, at 705-348-2285 or seniors@billingstwp.ca!
Never trust a small salmon. It’s a little fishy.
We wish a very happy birthday to eminent Kagawongians Keith, Kim, Dennis and Jamie. Just remember, when dropping hints about birthday gifts around your loved ones, you need to be specific. Saying, “Just get me something with diamonds,” seems clever and cute right up until you unwrap a brand new, shiny pack of playing cards.
If you want to learn about the progress on the Mud Creek Road access survey, there is a public information evening happening on Friday, October 10th from 4-8pm at the Park Centre. The engineering firm that is conducting the study will be on hand in a drop-in setting to provide information, answer questions, and collect feedback from the public.
Salmon eggs are so small, you need a mic-roe-scope to see them!

Although it’s only just barely fall, Billings is planning a sweet spring: the Manitoulin Maple Syrup Festival is in the works for March! There will be games, events, vendors, interesting guest speakers and of course food, all with a maple syrup focus. Vendors and baking competitors can pre-register, but tickets for the dinner are not on sale yet. Visit https://manitoulinculinarytourism.ca/ for more information and to register.
Holy Mackinaw! Rumour has it Toronto Maple Leafs announcer Joe Bowen will be coming to History Hockey Day in Kagawong in 2026! The Old Mill Heritage Centre is looking for Manitoulin hockey or NHL memorabilia for an exhibit tied into the day. Please contact Rick at oldmillheritage@billingstwp.ca or (705) 282-1442 to reserve your spot in the upcoming Local Hockey Hall of Fame!
Salmon must have a good data plan, since they’re always streaming. Have a great week!
