 "Long felt by many to be the premier majestic tree of the northwoods, our white pines are now shrinking in number and are at risk of disappearing altogether as they are unable to reproduce themselves as quickly as they are being killed, harvested or destroyed. Disease and pests - white pine blister rust and the white pine weevil - take a considerable toll."1
A couple of years back LOWDPOA acquired thousands of White Pine Blister Rust resistant seeds for growth and distribution to our membership. The Quetico Superior Foundation, through their White Pine Initiative, focuses on strengthening the northern White Pine population and we were lucky enough to be one of the beneficiaries of their efforts.
Dyke Van Etten Williams is the manager of the White Pine Initiative and board member with the Quetico Superior Foundation. He is also a long time member of our Lake of the Woods family, having spent many LOWISA Regattas and whole summers for much of his life in the area. He remains heavily involved in our community today.

Late last year, property owners within the Lake of the Woods District received their revised property assessments for provincial tax purposes. Many of our members contacted LOWDPOA directly with their comments and questions related to the new values, as well as hoping that our Association could help act on their behalf.
We recently prepared and delivered a letter to the Ontario Minister of Finance, the Honourable Dwight Duncan outlining the concerns of our members and we have included it for your information (click here to view or download).
Although we believe in the effectiveness of a consolidated effort by the property owners within the Lake of the Woods District, we also recommend you take the time to contact the Minister's office independently; your voice can help make a difference.
As always, updates on the Provincial Land Tax Reform will continue to be provided to you via the Area News, the web site and occasional e-mails. |

The Lake of the Woods District Property Owners Association invites all our members and potential members to our 47th Annual Meeting and Cottage Show, Monday, May 4, 2009 at the Victoria Inn, 1808 Wellington Ave, Winnipeg.
Once again, we anticipate more than 2000 visitors from the Lake of the Woods, Winnipeg River area as well as from areas around Northwestern Ontario who are passionate about the health of the region and the on-going work of the Association.
This year, our theme of Going Green at the Lake will impact all aspects of the meeting, the information seminars and the many exhibitors showcasing their environmentally focused products, practices and services. The Association believes part of its mandate is to protect our environment for future generations and this event provides the perfect opportunity to update you on our activities and to inform our members about what they can do as property owners and as individuals to help make a difference.
