Last edit March 1st, 2024 Docks Chairperson: Dominic Losenno Parks Chairperson: Cindy Comtois Mail Boxes Please do not throw flyers, advertising literature etc that fill our mail boxes on the ground for others to pick up. At times the area has looked very shabby and with respect to all we ask you to take your unwanted flyers home. Or please leave a note inside your mailbox for Canada Post that you wish to not receive flyers. Current News Parks Canada who manage our Trent Severn Waterways are in the process of transferring the administration of dock permits to the local municipality. It is very important that we maintain and abide by the existing rules and regulations so when this change occurs we are in 100 % compliance moving forward. The Dock Chairman will continue to be the liason between our association and the municipality for continuity purposes. Garbage
A reminder to our visitors and members, please do not leave any garbage behind for the local wildlife. The mess left behind is dangerous and unhealthy to our fellow members and volunteer helpers. The garbage bins have from time to time been abused in the areas of the boat launch and beach areas. Please do not leave your boating garbage for others to pick up. We also ask that smokers please do not leave your cigarette buts in the sand at the beach area. Dog Owners Dog owners need to be reminded we are a "stoop & scoop" community.This includes the areas beside the road, around trees, on the grass areas either cut or uncut. We have volunteers who whipper snip and use their own equipment to cut grass that have come upon some stinky surprises. So please scoop the poop. Please respect our park lands, beaches and volunteers.
We are a connected membership working together to further everyones safety in our community.

Parks
As we upload more information you will find current events, notifications or even alerts on this page. We live in a rural area and sightings of wild animals are seldom, still we encourage our residents to abide by "good common sense" to country living. By working together to keep our shared park lands and beach area clean of garbage will help maintain the enjoyment and safety for all members.
The AVPOA is on the Monitored System as each garbage bag is counted at the waste transfer station in Bobcaygeon. In past we have found the garbage pails at the boat launch overflowing with refuse from boaters, especially on long weekends. This garbage attracts racoons and bears who other than the mess they make are compromising the safety of everyone in the village. With consideration to our volunteers - Please take your garbage home!
We are a POOP N" SCOOP community!
Please clean up after your pet.
Please note; All dogs in public places must be kept on a leash. This is a municipality By-Law. With respect to a harmoneous relationship with our guests and residents no dogs are allowed on our private beach area. There is a dog park to the east of the parklands to accomodate your dogs exercise needs. Please be aware of poison ivy at the dog beach.
