The annual Blair Smith Memorial Fishing with Kids event is back for its 18th year and will be taking place on Saturday, July 25,2026.  This free event is a wonderful opportunity for local youth to experience the joy of fishing and create lasting memories with their families.

Local students once again showcased ways to protect drinking water sources by producing engaging radio advertisements through the Gary Fox Drinking Water Protection Contest, formerly known as the Drinking Water Protection Radio Contest.

Lake Ontario’s average lake-wide water level is currently at 75.4 m. The region is set to experience sustained winds from the south and southwest of 40-60 km/h from June 18 to June 20. Strong winds will create a storm surge in the eastern end of Lake Ontario and the Bay of Quinte with waves reaching 1-3 metres in height. Shoreline residents along the Bay may see water levels exceed 75.6 m.
