Hello dear FOLIC friends,
We are very sad to advise all of you that your executive was advised tonight by the RCMP that FOLIC will be closed for campers this season due to the following reasons;
Campsites are compact and in close proximity to each other and maintaining 2 metres separations along access routes would be challenging;
Kitchen, washroom, BBQ and playground facilities are shared and the RCMP is not well positioned to maintain an acceptable level of disinfection; and
Insurance obtained through the Friends of Long Island Camp (FOLIC) does not cover risks associated to COVID 19.
The good news is, as owners of the property, the RCMP still has to meet basic responsibilities to maintain the property and to ensure all health and safety obligations are met. As Gerry will continue to assist the RCMP in the coordination role, they will reimburse FOLIC for his expenses as the economic impact to FOLIC will be substantial without the campers this season.
For anyone who has a trailer in storage and wish to keep it there, please be advised that the fee will be the same, $1 per foot per month. Due to the lay out of the compound, if you wish to remove your trailer, there will be a $20 fee and it will be for the whole camping season meaning you will not be allowed to bring your trailer back until the end of the season. Please contact Gerry via email at longislandcamp@rogers.com to make an appointment to remove your trailer.
We are extremely thankful to the RCMP for helping us in these difficult times.
We will continue to advise you of any development.
We will be back for season 2021.
Thank you,
Your Executive.
Bonjour chers(ères) amis(es),
Nous sommes très triste de vous annoncer que ce soir, la GRC nous a avisé que le camping sera fermé pour les campeurs cette été pour les raisons suivantes;
Les terrains sont compacts et étroits et soutenir le 2 metres de séparation le long des accès serait difficile;
Cuisine, toilette, BBQ et terrain de jeux sont partagés et la GRC n'est pas en bonne position pour soutenir la décontamination à un niveau acceptable; et
Nos assurance ne couvre pas le COVID 19.
La bonne nouvelle est que la GRC étant propriétaire du terrain, doit répondre aux besoins fondamentaux et assurer la santé et sécurité. Comme Gerry continuera a assister la GRC dans son role de coordinateur, la GRC remboursera ses dépenses du à l'impact économique du manque de revenue cet été.
Si vous avez une roulotte en storage et souhaitez la garder en storage, veuillez prendre note que le cout est toujours de 1 dollar le pied par mois. En raison de l'emplassement des roulottes, il y aura un frais de 20 dollars si vous voulez sortir votre roulotte et la roulotte ne pourra pas être remiser avant la fin de la saison. Veuillez s'il vous plait communiquer avec Gerry à longislandcamp@rogers.com pour prendre rendez-vous si vous voulez sortir votre roulotte.
Nous sommes extrèmement reconnaissant à la GRC de nous aider dans des temps si difficiles.
Nous allons continuer à vous aviser de tout développement.
Nous serons de retour pour la saison 2021.
Merci et soyez prudent,
Votre exécutif

Campers please note regarding winter storage for your personal belongings...Please do not leave any more than absolutely necessary behind at the camp for winter storage....we are very limited for storage space as the Rideau River floods quite badly most years. What ever you must store please place and cover if necessary. on sites 20-26 and member you must remove your stuff right after the spring draw so we can clear the sites for our members whom have drawn them for the summer season.
The camping season end is soon upon us...we will be turning the water and power off as of Tuesday October 15 as we will be moving all remaining trailers in to storage so we can perform our winterizing of the trailer park and to perform any repairs necessary if the camp is moving your trailer into storage you must make sure it is ready to go for the Tuesday morning this means making sure your tires are inflated and if a battery is required to lift the trailer make sure it works. Also please keep in mind that the canal is drained right after Thanksgiving weekend so please remove your boats accordingly.
