The Georgian Bay Mnidoo Gamii Biosphere is continuing to offer the Kids in the Biosphere program in partnership with the Township of The Archipelago (TOA). This free program provides participating families with activities to keep you outside and learning about nature all summer long!
Crane Lake is in a Restricted Fire Zone, which means we are under a Total Fire Ban. This means NO FIREWORKS OR CAMPFIRES heading into the Canada Day long weekend.
Sign up for the Crane Lake Fire Notification List! When a 911 call is placed for a fire incident on Crane Lake, Seguin Fire Services is notified (who provide fire support to Crane Lake under a contract with the Township of the Archipelago). At the same time, a mass notification is sent out by a company called Northern911 to anyone who has signed up to receive these notifications.
September 30th in Canada marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, honouring children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. We encourage the Crane Lake community to wear orange clothing on September 30th to recognize this date of commemoration and shared reflection. Resources are also provided by the GBR for more learning opportunities.
