NOTICE TO COTTAGERS / LEASEHOLDERS
Effective Today
Dear Cottagers and Leaseholders,
Due to the current uncertainty and changing conditions on the lake, the Aazhaawe will be operating for Band Members only at this time.
We understand this may cause inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to monitor lake and operating conditions closely.
Leaseholders and cottagers will be notified as soon as the vessel is able to reopen for public use. Security has been notified and all non-essential travellers will be turned away at the ferry dock.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Miigwech,
Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation
Chief and Council
Dear Community Members, Contractors, and Leaseholders,
We have recently experienced a significant increase in ferry usage due to ongoing construction and higher travel volumes. To ensure smooth operations and prioritize community needs, Chief and Council have designated the following blackout dates for construction vehicles, including contractor vehicles, on the Aazhaawe ferry for 2026.
Please note:
Blackout Dates for Construction Vehicles:
Additionally, no hauling will be permitted on Fridays during July and August. This means oversized trucks and vehicles will not have access to the ferry on those Fridays throughout the summer.
Please refer to the attached 2026 calendar for a complete list of blackout dates. These restrictions apply to all construction vehicles and deliveries.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work together to support our community.
