Our AGM draw winner is....


SLCA member Nerys Phan (pictured here with Membership Chair Lorie Butkus-Hill on the left) was the winner of the door prize basket at the Annual General Meeting held August 3, 2025. Unfortunately, we did not achieve quorum. The Board opted to go ahead with an information session that included the President's Report, a financial update, a tribute to our volunteers and a presentation on the Eurasian Water-Milfoil Study recently done for Steenburg Lake. Business requiring a vote by the members will be held over to the 2026 AGM. See the Presentation Deck from the meeting (PDF).

About our lake:

Steenburg Lake is in the Trent River and Lake Ontario drainage basins in the townships of Limerick and Tudor & Cashel, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada, 28 kilometres south of the town of Bancroft. The lake is about 3.2 kilometres long and 2.8 kilometres wide and lies at an elevation of 316 metres.  

Back where she belongs

Steenburg welcomed a special returning resident to the lake on Mother's Day, May 11, 2025. Welcome back to this 15-year-old female snapping turtle. She was released after spending the winter at the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre in Peterborough where she was recovering from being hit by a car and loosing her beak. The trauma centre is run by the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre. This turtle was originally from our lake and the volunteer was so happy she could be released back to Steenburg. If you happen to spot her you will notice that she has a bit of a smooshed in face, that is her new smile (-:
