🛶 The Big Canoe – A Day of Adventure at Lake Minnewasta! 🌿

What a great day spent exploring, learning, and making memories together! From paddling in the voyageur canoe to nature activities, outdoor games, and bannock over the fire, The Big Canoe brought our community together to enjoy the outdoors and try something new on September 19!

Our morning crew braved the cooler, misty weather, making for some pretty special moments out on the lake! 🌫️🛶

A big thank you to Wilderland Adventure Company for helping bring this experience alive, and to Georges Beaudry for sharing stories of the voyageurs and introducing our participants to their history.

We’d also like to extend our appreciation to Southern Health–Santé Sud for providing Healthy Together Now grant funding to help support the costs of this event and make these experiences possible for our community. 💚

And, of course, thank you to all the families and participants who came out to take part! It was wonderful to see our community connecting, learning, and enjoying the outdoors together at Lake Minnewasta.

Work has started this week on upgrading the boardwalk surface at Colert Beach 🏖️ The old, worn boards are in the process of being removed and will be replaced with a new surface, ensuring years of future use and enjoyment for visitors to the lake.

The City of Morden is funding this project through the Lake Minnewasta Campground reserve, meaning campground revenue is being re-invested to fund improvements at the lake!

Thank you for your patience as work continues on this improvement project this fall.
