Thanks to all of the volunteers, they continue to collect the beer and liquor bottles that are left for recycling. Please separate them by leaving them in a separate bag or box, or place them in designated area in the boxes. The bottles are stored in the shed until a volunteer returns them for the refund. These funds will be used by committee for a variety of park activities. All these jobs help to keep down the cost of in-park activities.

Privacy Information Act We have been advised by the legal minds of the OPCA that we shall no longer give out names, addresses, phone numbers or even site numbers to anyone including your visitors unless we have explicit written authorization from you to do so. We have forms in the office for you to sign if you wish to provide such authorization. Park Maintenance The majority of our members have done a tremendous job at cutting, weeding, trimming and landscaping your lots. To this we give the highest regards. However there are a number of sites which spoil this large amount of effort. Allowing the grass to grow high along with all kinds of clutter around the site (toys and fire wood etcetera) is not going to be tolerable. Maintenance personal will go through the park and if a site is deemed to be messy and unacceptable to park standards it will be cleaned up, cut, trimmed and a fee charged to the site owner will be issued. There are several trailers that are not skirted and it makes a big impact to the overall appearance of the street. If you are unable to do this type of work please contact us and we will make arrangements for you. Please be advice that any changes on the sites (deck, Florida room or any add. room, sheds, interlock, trees, est.) must be approved by the management, and Township of Trent Lake – if require. Boats All boats have to be registered with the office and have a sticker with the site number before you launch the boat in the water. All boats that do not have a sticker will be removed from the park. Please visit us at the office for your sticker! All boats and boat trailers must be marked with the site number of their respective owners. Unmarked boats and boat trailers are not welcome in the park, and will be removed from the park at the owner’s expense. Please remember that the gate will not be open for vehicles, no hydro will be available, and no overnight stays are allowed before the official opening day on May 08th. Fees must be paid on or before Saturday May 11th. Otherwise, a late payment charge will apply. Access to the site will be denied if payment is not arranged by this date. To all of our returning and new members: We are looking forward to a sun-filled 2015season at Bell Haven! Hope that everyone will have lots of time to enjoy your home away from home! With warmest regards, Your hosts, Alex and Lana
