Great articles are always a pleasure to read and re-read!
In this frequently changing section we will feature articles from past Informers, as we are busy preparing your Spring 2026 edition.
With winter behind us, spring here, and a cottage summer ahead, many of us are thinking about our Happy Place on the lake.
Here are Carly Woods’ thoughts about that in the Spring 2022 edition, along with photos of Boshkungers enjoying their own happy places:
AMAZING SUNRISE ON NOVEMBER 5, 2023

The Science behind it . . .
It was a very welcome, but somewhat rare, atmospheric event enjoyed in many other parts of North America, for the Sunrise on November 5, 2023 to appear as beautiful as many Sunsets we’ve had on Boshkung.

Reminder: 10 km/h Shoreline Speed Limit
When boating in the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia, please observe the unposted speed limit of 10 km/h (6 mph ) within 30 meters (100 ft ) from shore. This limit applies on all waters within these provinces except where other limits are posted. These provisions do not apply in rivers less than 100 meters (300 ft ) in width, canals and buoyed channels nor in the case of waterskiing, where the tow boat launches and drops off skiers by heading directly away from or into the shore.
Safe Boating: Maps and Guide
When put boating on our beautiful Boshkung Lake, it’s very important to be aware of the depths, proximity to the shoreline and any hazards when boating on the lake.
Here are two maps from our website and an interactive nautical chart that may be useful.
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.”
