December 14, 2020

Hi everyone, the Board of Directors, Park Manager and staff would like to say thank you for your understanding of the restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As per usual, the water in the park is turned off during the non-camping season from October 15 to April 15, although water is available to the upper washrooms and the upper laundry.

Section 4, 4.2 Campsite Occupancy

4.2 No License Holder may utilize his/her designated lot for recreational purposes outside the designated period commencing April 15 to October 15 in any year. With the exception of attending for short periods not exceeding three (3) consecutive days during the non camping season for purposes of inspection, repairs or modifications to camping units and site improvements or for other similar non-camping activities.

Our Park Manager, Brian Lamb, advises that some campers are not abiding by our current regulation.  However, after considerable discussions, the Board has decided that it is best to maintain the status quo, which will permit the Park Manager and the Campers to self-regulate their activities during the Non-Camping Season. We are all trusting that civility will prevail and adherence will be voluntary, and there will be no need to change regulations. We must remember that at all times, the Park Manager has the authority to regulate activities within the Park, including the ability to rescind the gate pass for those who continue to disregard the rules.

At the November Board Meeting, the proposed Budget for 2021 (which is posted on the bulletin board) was accepted. Of note, the Campers Association Annual Dues for 2021 will be $1,250.

The Board would like to ask owners for their ideas which can be added to our 1-yr, 3-yr and 5-yr plans for Park Improvements. It is our intention to make improvements over time for the best cost-for-value for owners while creating an enjoyable environment for campers of all ages. We have purchased 7 benches for placement around the Park, and purchased additional speed bumps that will be placed at strategic locations in the Park during this winter/spring season. Please email your suggestions to Spider Lake Springs Resort Secretary at spiderlakesecretary@gmail.com.

We have to have faith in the system and remember Bonnie Henry’s words – Be calm, Be kind, Be safe and we can all come together next season!

Best of the Season to all.

Board of Directors

The next Board of Directors meeting will be January 17, 2021, 10:00am at the store and via ZOOM.
