2023 Annual Mobile Watch Appreciation Picnic & Golf Outing

Picnic and Golf Outing are events that allow the community to show its appreciation for all the Mobile Watch Volunteers. This includes performing daily patrols of Canadian Lakes, helping stranded and lost residents and visitors, watching for suspicious activities, and spotting safety violations like leaf burning. Mobile Watch Volunteers also help Canadian Lakes Safety control traffic during the Independence Day Parade, Fireworks Show, the CLA Winter spankky@charter.net

Carnival and Summer Picnic, and other large, crowded events. These events are sponsored by local businesses, the CLA, and the CLPOC.

The Mobile Watch Annual Picnic will be held on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, at the Pines Pavilion beginning about 4:30 p.m. All current Mobile Watch Volunteers, Canadian Lakes Safety employees, and their spouses/significant others are welcome and should save the date. All attendees should bring a place setting and beverages of their choice. Burgers & hot dogs, buns, condiments, salads, and more will be provided. Attendees, please inform your Area Captain if you plan to attend and how many will be joining you so we can have a proper total.

The Mobile Watch Annual Golf Outing will be held at The Pines Golf Course on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, beginning with a shotgun start at 9:00 a.m. Like previous outings, some interesting and fun surprises await the players on various holes. All current Mobile Watch Volunteers, Canadian Lakes Safety employees, and their spouses/significant others are eligible to participate. Contact Roger Stobert at 231.288.0148 or at spankky@charter.net if you plan to play.

(Canadian Lakes Yard Waste is located on the Southside of Pierce Road between 110th Ave. and Tullymore Drive)

As open burning of yard waste is not allowed in Canadian Lakes, and to preclude the dumping of these wastes on neighboring lots and common areas, Canadian Lakes Yard Waste was established to provide CLPOC members in good standing with a place to dispose of their residential yard waste, free of charge.

Canadian Lakes Yard Waste is OPEN every Wednesday and Sunday from 10am – 4pm during the months of April through November, except on Easter Sunday and other holidays falling on a Wednesday or Sunday. Access at other times is not available.

Items allowed at Canadian Lakes Yard Waste include tree and shrub branches and limbs less than 4” diameter (on the east side) and plantbased materials normally associated with residential yard maintenance such as grass clippings, leaves, and discarded mulch (on the west side).

To gain access to Canadian Lakes Yard Waste, you will need a current CLPOC Membership Card, vehicle sticker, or guest pass. Contractors doing yard maintenance for members may also use the facilities, but they must provide the CLPOC Membership Card, or guest pass.

Items NOT allowed to be left at the yard waste site include household trash, including organic wastes like rinds, peels, cores, etc., campfire ashes, and yard waste containers whether biodegradable or not.

Please dump your yard waste as far from the access road and preferably on top or behind previously deposited waste. This helps to maximize the amount of yard waste that can be accommodated before the need for costly waste push backs.

When entering the site, please SLOW DOWN! The posted speed limit at the entrance is 5mph. This is not only for the safety of those using and working at the site, but also to minimize the dust created. If you see dust behind you, you’re going too fast!

Wood chips may also be obtained by CLPOC members on an available basis. These wood chips, when available, are located at the far southwest corner of the facility.

Thanks to all the dedicated Yard Waste Attendants who volunteer their time to ensure this facility is only used by those authorized and that the rules are followed.

Should you have any questions the friendly attendant will be happy to help, or you can contact Roger Stobert, your volunteer Yard Waste Coordinator at 231-288-0148 or spankky@charter.net.
