Site Alteration And Tree Preservation By-Laws

The Township of the Archipelago is in the midst of developing new By-laws for Site Alteration and Tree Preservation. They have completed the Draft Stage, reviewable here:

As part of the process of creating a By-law, the Township is hosting an upcoming Virtual Open House to update the public and give participants the opportunity to provide input on the raft of the Site Alteration and Tree Preservation By-laws.

Online: January 30, 2024 6:00-8:00pm

The session will commence with a formal presentation outlining the project’s current progress and an overview of the draft by-laws, followed by a question and answer period and an interactive breakout activity. Township staff and members of the project team will be in attendance to answer questions and discuss the draft by-laws. 

The Township has prepared a comprehensive overview of the process by which this By-Law has been developed, the next steps in the process, and other important links. We encourage you to read their post below:

Fire Rating High

With just over a week before the Victoria Day long weekend, please note the Fire Rating in the Township of the Archipelago (Crane Lake) has been elevated to “High” because of the dry conditions. Campfires and Fireworks are prohibited during this Rating. Please keep an eye on the Fire Rating as you plan for your long weekend at the lake.
