Fishing Lures
While your mind is still thinking about fishing, take the time to discard all those rusty, unused fishing lures. Purchase a container that will hold all of your lures and fishing equipment. (Remember to leave some space for new lures). If you can’t find a tackle box you like, try looking at tool boxes or craft boxes. Stanley Tools makes some great organizers and Dollarama has some smaller boxes for when you only need to take a few lures with you.
Snow Blowers
Why would I talk about snowblowers when it is so sunny and hot? Now is the time to have your snowblower serviced. You won’t be in a rush to get it back and when you do need it, it will be all ready to go!

Commercial fishing vessels are required to carry distress flares and it is a good idea for all boaters to have a couple of distress flares in the boat’s safety kit. Flares should be stored in a watertight container in a cool, dry location. However, flares are only good for four years after the date of manufacture. They should be disposed of after that time.
Flares are explosive and cannot be thrown in the trash. They must be treated as hazardous waste. If you have expired flares or flares that will expire soon, please note that from August 1-8, 2009 the OPP will be collecting expired and unwanted marine flares. Please see the OPP website for drop-off locations.
