Kristin Wilcox
Safety Director kwilcox@clpoc.org W hat a great
summer season!
I must say we have had a great summer here in Canadian Lakes. You as members have done a great job of making sure that your friends and family members know and follow our rules this summer. You have done a wonderful job of making sure that your guests have the appropriate passes for both the amenities and their vehicles. My hat is off to you all!
Now as we begin the transition to the cooler months here in Canadian Lakes, soon the summer fun vehicles will need to come off the lakes. The boat ramp will be staffed, weather dependent, through mid-October on Fridays 1 p.m. – 7 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. The ramp will be available by appointment at any other time by contacting Safety at 231-972-8555. Please be patient and allow for at least a 30–60-minute wait for an attendant.

Reminder – ABSOLUTELY NO ORVs, snowmobiles, or other motorized vehicles are permitted on ANY golf course or common area. This includes the new walking trail and the hills around the Castle, Highland Haus, and Alpine Haus. The “existing trails” were created over the years by riders without permission. This has caused extensive erosion to the hillside. Within the Canadian Lakes community, ORVs and snowmobiles may only be operated on the road edge as far right as possible, or on the frozen lake surface.
Any person aged 12-15 years’ operating an ORV, trail bike, golf cart, etc. on any CLPOC-owned road edge or frozen lake surface, must have an ORV certificate and be under the supervision of a parent or guardian. Anyone under the age of 12 is not permitted to operate any type of motor vehicle on CLPOC-owned property. All ORVs and snowmobiles are required to be registered with the CLPOC office and are required to visibly display the CLPOC registration sticker. Your safety in the community is our top priority!
Reminder – For those that will be leaving the area for the winter, new Winter Watch forms must be filled out every year as they do not carry over from year-to-year. This is a free program, monitoring only. A winter walk-around program is available for a fee.
As always, we on the Safety Team want to thank the wonderful volunteers of the Mobile Watch. Without your dedication, our job would be much more difficult.
