LET’S STAND together
ADVENTURE DIFFERENTLY! For time immemorial, stands of white birch trees, old-growth canopies with white pines and red pines, along with the many fungi and flora on the forest floors have been a shelter in place for woodland creatures, birds of prey, and all of humanity. Today, the words shelter in place take on a new meaning and context as people, everywhere, navigate new uncharted waters with the coronavirus outbreak and COVID-19. In the spirit of resiliency and with all that we can muster, people have accepted the circumstances and risen to the challenges. It has not been easy. Our small Township hides its treasures on scenic back roads that transport visitors and residents alike to simpler times. The very same corduroy roads that once led prospectors, settlers and loggers to a hub of mills in the early 1900s now bring travelers and tourists to camps, lodges and lakefront cottages. From the past to the present, a true northern spirit has prevailed. And, never has it been more important to adventure differently than it is today! In the summer of 2020, we might not be gathering in large numbers watching fireworks illuminate the night sky but we can still stand together, while staying apart. In small numbers, we can sing Oh, Canada on July 1st from the safety and comfort of our own backyard! We can launch canoes and kayaks and enjoy an
invigorating or leisurely paddle on the many freshwater lakes, right here on the eastern shores of Lake of the Woods. If you have little people in your life, find a sandy beach, pack a picnic lunch, dip your feet in the water, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Not everything is cancelled,

Sunshine is not cancelled. Summer is not cancelled. Reading is not cancelled. Picnics are not cancelled. Music is not cancelled. Fishing is not cancelled. Kindness is not cancelled. Conversations are not cancelled. HOPE, is definitely not cancelled!
So, keep looking up. Find your #truenorth as we adventure differently by standing together, while staying apart.
