LKO Annual General Meeting
Below are the 2023 AGM documents:
EBlast Post House Update
As most know from previous EBlasts and other media sources, The Post House made application for rezoning. Your LKO Board of Directors became involved for the sole purpose of ensuring the health of our lake. In an appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal, the application was approved in April. The Board is satisfied that the process went through the proper channels and we look forward to working with The Post House and all other businesses to ensure compliance and the continued health of our lake.

LKO’s 2021 Conservation Award
Congratulations to Blake Parkinson, LKO’s choice for its 2021 Conservation Award! Blake is a grade 8 student who is the host of “Blake on the Lake”, a series of YouTube videos for kids on such catchy questions as what to do about the invading snails, should we let sunscreen get into the lake, and who’s the best target for mosquitoes. Blake is an Earth Ranger and has organized numerous garbage cleanups and fundraisers for wildlife conservation. During the pandemic, Blake has been giving weekly Instagram shows which he researches and develops on his own. Blake’s conservation efforts were also recognized by the Haliburton Highlands Land Trust 2021 Youth Enviro Hero Award.
