Cottage Checks

On November 17, after the hunting season, WAPVA members commenced the annual Cottage Check. Over 1600 seasonal residences are slated to be checked and tagged. Members have found and subsequently secured four cottages and one garage so far.

A Busy Fall

An association member found a stolen ATV during a routine patrol, WAPVA worked with the O.P.P. to return it to its owner. The association recently purchased a generator for the Wilberforce Medical Center and OPP Sub-Office and has had the location wired to provide uninterrupted service in case of emergency or blackout. WAPVA members were once again out in full force in Wilberforce and Harcourt for Halloween, festivities were very quiet with no problems reported. Members most recently took part in Remembrance Day ceremonies, placing a wreath at the cenotaph in Wilberforce. Presently, association members are conducting the annual cottage-check.

For it's active role in making the community a better, safer place, the Municipality Of Highlands East presented WAPVA with a letter of appreciation.

B&E in Progress

On November 18 the local Legion was burglarized while simultaneously four cottages were vandalized. Thanks to the fast action of a cottager who happened to hear a strange noise in the early morning and called the OPP who responded quickly and apprehended the two suspects as they were fleeing the scene. WAPVA would like to thank the cottager for their quick thinking.
