    • Although the HydroOne outage map indicates up to 76 customers are affected, with a projection of May 1st for power restoration, many cottagers have responded to me to report they have power.
    • The damaged hydro pole has been replaced.

  • Birches have taken quite a beating
  • Update 2025 04 08 morning:
    • Anstruther: Passable
    • Fire Route 55 (Jessica Drive): has a few permanent residents. They’ve cleared the numerous downed trees , so it is more passable. 
    • Fire Route 57: cleared for car passage. Although clear of trees, the road is still soft and snow covered in places, and at this point, remains not quite drivable.
    • Fire Route 58: in rough shape but passable
    • Fire Route 58F&G: is not passable unless you’re driving a serious truck with high clearance. It’s still snow covered in place. Beaver pond overflowed and washed out part of the road
    • Fire Route 58D: the road is passable, although road work will be required
