The Informer: Revisited

Great articles from The Informer are always a pleasure to read and re-read!

In this frequently changing section, we will feature articles from past Informers as we start to prepare your Spring 2026 edition.

Here’s two good articles about the importance of using sunscreen from page 31 from the Spring 2021 edition and what makes the cottage a very special and Happy Place from page 45 of the Spring 2022 edition.

Even though it seems early, the sun is stronger than the air temperature at this time of year and it’s easy to forget about using sunscreen. And, the buffleheads, trilliums, jack-in-the-pilot and pink lady’s slipper will be delights to watch for on your walks this Spring.

From Cottage Life

Across almost all of Canada, common loons—the loon species that breeds the farthest south into cottage country—are struggling to reproduce. Adult populations are stable at about 240,000 breeding pairs, but if they cannot raise enough young to replace themselves, the future of the species is at stake.”
