Myers lake noise restrictions

Myers Lake has imposed some quite strict noise restrictions! The Globe and Mail reported that they, "passed a special bylaw for the lake and surrounding properties. It bans 'human sound' – yodelling loons can breathe easy – 'such as yelling, shouting, hooting, whistling, singing,' as well as loud noise from speakers no matter what the time of day or night." This summer is a test run of sorts for the bylaw. The real test will be in those that rent cottages on the lake. Will they follow the bylaw? How will it be enforced? Will it be amended next year? We will find out!

In Ontario’s cottage country, there’s a new sound of summer: Shhhh

In the warm and sunny days heading into the long weekend, it is so quiet you can almost hear the trilliums bloom. There is not a ripple, not a vessel, not even a loon on Myers Lake this warm mid-May day as the first buds and wildflowers announce that winter has finally been beaten back. Soon, the cottagers will arrive in numbers. If Henry James thought the two loveliest words in the English language are “summer afternoon,” the two loveliest in Canadian English must be “spring awakening.”

Kudos to these locals!
