LOBA Winter Town Hall
On January 24, over 50 LOBA members and directors, representatives from other lake associations, and elected local officials braved the -37 temperature and met at Bethune United Church in Baysville for the LOBA Town Hall meeting.
LOBA President Paul Gleeson started off the meeting with an overview of LOBA's work over the past year and looking forward. This was followed by greetings and updates from District Chair Jeff Lehman, Town of Huntsville Mayor Nancy Alcock and Township of Lake of Bays Mayor Terry Glover. You can read overviews of their presentations in our upcoming Spring Current Connection, arriving in your mailbox and/or inbox in the coming weeks.
Everyone learned and laughed as Rick Stonks, Local Naturalist & Lake of Bays Heritage Foundation Director, presented about Using Trail Cameras as a Monitoring Tool. He presented 10-second video clips, culled from thousands of clips from trail cameras set up at the Lake of Bays Heritage Foundation's Marsh's Falls Education Centre, which have helped him identify 14 mammal species on the property. You can see the presentation here.
Discussions continued over a delicious lunch prepared by Bethune's United Church Women group.
Thanks to all who attended!
