High Speed Internet on Beauview Bay , Lake of Bays


We are not alone!!
Michel from MCCSolutions just installed an antenna tower to provide High Speed Internet service to all of Beauview Bay. This antenna will cover a part of Lake of Bays that is unserviced, (too many rocks in the way) unless you have a satellite dish.
We have had High speed internet for two years. What a difference from dial up!

Prime Minister announces Canada to host 2010 G8 Summit in Huntsville
19 June 2008
Huntsville, ON

Prime Minister Stephen Harper today announced the 2010 G8 Summit will be held at the Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, Ontario. It will be the fifth G8 Summit hosted by Canada since the country joined the prestigious international organization in 1976.

The Prime Minister was joined at the announcement by Tony Clement, Canada’s Health Minister and Member of Parliament for Parry Sound-Muskoka.“Huntsville is a jewel in the Canadian Shield and an ideal location for this gathering of world leaders,” said Prime Minister Harper. “Our international guests will be charmed by the uniquely Canadian beauty of the region and by the warm hospitality of Muskokans.”

The Prime Minister emphasized the Summit will be a tremendous opportunity to promote Canada’s values and interests on the world stage; to advocate for open markets and free trade; to insist on truly global action against global warming; and to champion freedom, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law.

Prime Minister Harper added that the international media attending the Summit would introduce millions of potential tourists to the many attractions of Ontario cottage country.“The 2010 G8 Summit will provide short and long-term economic benefits for the region and the province, and it will be an exceptional opportunity for Canada to advance its values and interests on the world stage,” Prime Minister Harper concluded.

Muskoka Triathlon 2008





























The Muskoka Triathlon 2008 was held in Huntsville this weekend. We had a number of




Triathletes staying with us.






As you can see, the bike route goes right past our property.






The bike route for the Muskoka Ironman coming in September 2008 starts at Deerhurst and also goes right past our driveway.












Here's a selection of the many photos I took under Sunny skies.

We are catching More Fish than We Can Keep!










This is no fish story! Al and the boys come every year to fish for Lake Trout on Lake of Bays.
They are out at sun up each morning. There are so many fish in the lake that they pick only the mid size ones for their fish fry. The big ones and the little ones are put back in the lake.

Here's some photos of their catch.
CONGRATULATIONS TO COLE TAYLOR who caught his first lake Trout ever on Lake of Bays.

Our Ontario U. K. Connection

We have had several couples recently stay with us that are from the United Kingdom.

One couple from Devon said that Air Transat has direct flights from Exeter, U. K. to Toronto, Canada each week. It is much closer for them to go to Exeter than Heathrow airport and much less expensive with no expensive overnight stay in an airport hotel.

They took in the sights of Niagara Falls, Toronto and then came to the country to stay with us at Beauview.

They went canoeing, fishing, hiking in Algonquin Park, golfing, 30,000 Island Boat tour, saw a moose and deer and black squirrels! Lots to do.
