FoxCreek Community Access Roads Grated

Today, 20-Oct-2015, both access roads to the FoxCreek community – Old Kettle Rd from Mill Village to the Fox Creek turnaround
– Medway Harbour Rd, from Hwy 331 to the turnaround
have been scraped.

The roads look much smoother than when done in Spring and the pot holes are gone. However please be still careful driving these roads for the time being as the gravel is still loose and your car might swerve.

Maximum 50

Remember, the speed limit on Old Kettle Rd and Medway Harbour Dr. is 50km/h.

In the interest of road maintenance please keep to 30km/h on all gravel roads within the FoxCreek community.

This has the additional benefit of less wear & tear on your car’s tires and underbody. Not to mention – on dry days – less kicked up dust.

During the fall/winter months from 16-Oct-2015 until and including 14-Mar-2016 brush fires are allowed 24 hours/day. It is no longer mandatory to consult the Burnsafe website before starting a fire.

However please use common sense when making brush fires by taking weather conditions into account. Even in winter months the soil can become fairly dry and also avoid fires on windy days!

Thank you!

Super Moon Lunar Eclipse happening this Sunday

Super Moon Lunar Eclipse is happening on 27-Sep-2015.

This weekend, the Moon will provide a big, bloody show for those looking up into the night sky. A total lunar eclipse — sometimes referred to as a blood moon due to the Moon’s dark red glow — is scheduled to begin at 9:11pm ADT on Sunday.

[Watch the Lunar Eclipse live here …]

But this eclipse is particularly special, because it’s happening on a night when the Moon will also be a supermoon. That’s when a full moon occurs on the same night of the Moon’s perigee, or the time when the Moon is closest to Earth. The Moon has an elliptical orbit around our planet, so its distance from Earth doesn’t stay the same. When at perigee, the Moon looks up to 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than it does when it’s at apogee (its farthest point from Earth).
