Beaver Days - February 10, 11 & 12.![]()
Schedule of events: www.whiteshellcommunityclub.ca/beaver-days.html
Earlier this week we posted a video by Tara Suderman of an Ice disc which has taken off a bit- reaching 14,000 people so far & still climbing.. Here's a post from 2017 on Ice discs (By Scott Sime - near Otter Falls if Memory serves me right)
Well folks – we’ve reached 10,000 followers on our Facebook page – a long time personal goal of mine. Having administered this page since 2017 & having now reached this goal it will soon be time for me to move on & have someone else at WCA administer the page. Hoping to hand it over before end of February.![]()

The biggest jump in followers occurred during the 2021 Wildfires and during the 2022 floods as WCA kept cottagers & other park users informed- often 16 hour days during these events, always 7 days a week. And does anything say “Whiteshell” more than Daniel Alexander’s amazing wildlife videos & photos? We’ve had some of our Facebook posts reach well over 100,000 people & some posts were picked up by the media and made the news.![]()
