Congratulations to Kara (Welbourn) Sinclair from Little Hawk Lake for the winning cover photo on the 2021-2022 HHLPOA calendar.

“This is a sacred space where time stands still. Miigwech. My family has admired this view for three generations, as have many others. Tranquility flows, harmony with Creation sings, and hope glows with a new dawn. May we honour this land.”

Upcoming Events

Our highest priority is the health, safety, and well-being of our Association members. As we all know, COVID-19 (coronavirus) continues to spread globally and the situation is so dynamic that each day brings a new development. Along with all of you, we will continue to monitor the progress and containment of the virus. While we have outlined here an exciting schedule of events, should public health circumstances require that we cancel or reschedule these events, we will provide an update at that time. We remain hopeful that we may gather, as usual, to enjoy our summer and the Association events without interruption.
