Canadian National Championship Powerboat Races at Sydenham Lake ?

Doug Overbury of the Canadian Boating Federation attended a February meeting of the Loughborough District Parks and Recreation Committee with his association’s proposal to resume their use of Sydenham Lake for national powerboat races this summer. He said they would run their races between 10 and 4 on two days, and requested the use of areas around the boat ramp for camping and parking.

The recreation Committee felt it would be necessary to have a public meeting to gauge community support. No date has been set yet, but late April has been suggested.

Sydenham Water Works By-law

South Frontenac Council passed a lengthy by-law to formalize the policies they have developed in relation to the Sydenham water system. CAO Burns observed that this by-law would not pose any additional burden on staff or the properties in the Hamlet of Sydenham.
