Welcome to the Spring into Summer Issue
Spring is in full swing here in Cottage Country. We have (hopefully) finished with the rainy season and we are heading straight into delicious, delightful summer. It does feel like the colder weather hung around longer than usual this year, but May and June tend to give us a true picture of what is in store for a beautiful sunny season of fun.
Fire up those barbecues, set out the lounge chairs, lather on the sunscreen and get that dock in the water – summer is on its way and it’s best to be prepared!
Welcome to the May-June issue – or as we lovingly refer to it, the Spring into Summer issue. In this full-to-the-brim edition, we bring you lots of interesting information about topics we think are helpful heading through spring and into summer months.
On the cover we have R&J Machine and inside the magazine they share helpful information about boathouses and hidden beam lifts for those looking to protect their water toy investments.
You will read about different fishing techniques, and there is an article on Canada’s National Fishing Week from our friends at Keep Canada Fishing. We have information shared by a local realtor; a great list of tips to keep in mind while buying lakefront or rural properties. The Love Your Lake program writes about keeping shoreline lighting to a minimum for the benefit of the environment, and local favourite Jacob Rodenburg brings you an excerpt from his new nature book. Long-time contributors Weekend at the Cottage bring you mouth-watering recipes sure to make the company happy, and the Peterborough Museum and Archives shares a little history on the Museum and how it came to be.
We also include in this issue – and issues straight through summer and into fall – our Daytripping Feature. We invite you to flip through the pages and find information on upcoming events, seasonal businesses and local destinations. We encourage you to travel all the vibrant communities of Cottage Country and experience the hospitality our small business communities offer warmly.
“Far up in the deep blue sky, Great white clouds are floating by; All the world is dressed in green;
Many happy birds are seen, Roses bright and sunshine clearShow that lovely June is here.”
-F.G. Sanders
June is the gateway to summer Cottage Country – we can’t wait to experience every day, be it rainy or sunny, along with you!
