PLCA Member Communications

Good Day PLCA Members:   I hope this email finds you all well and enjoying the beautiful end-of-summer weather we have been having.   I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the PLCA Resort Manager. My name is Jennifer (Jenn) Araujo.  I, like you, have history with the park. My in-laws have been members for over 30 years, and I have had the extreme pleasure of watching my own children grow up here. To this day, our family continues to enjoy everything the park has to offer.  In essence, you can count on me to be fully invested in helping this park to flourish!   In terms of communication, my plan going forward is to make every attempt to have open and regular communication with the membership. In that regard, please feel free to email your questions, concerns, or praises (LOL) to me at plca@pigeon.on.ca   Jamie Sweet, our Maintenance Manager, and I will work together as a team to handle all ongoing, scheduled, as well as new, administra...

  Hello Members, The Board would like to share some important organizational and HR developments with our Association. First, Katheryne is no longer with the PLCA.  We wish her well in her future endeavors. Moving forward, we are thrilled to announce that Jennifer (Jenn) Araujo has stepped into the role of Resort Manager!  Many of you may already know Jenn from her recent work in the office as an administrator. She brings a wealth of experience in paperless business operations and management to the team. Jenn has already hit the ground running alongside Jamie to lead our park in a positive direction—getting things done in long-standing areas of frustration: reconciling our docks, racks, and posts, organizing waiting lists, and making fantastic operational updates to the office. Please feel free to drop by the office to say hello, welcome Jenn to her new role, and see the changes underway. Note on Communications: Going forward, please direct all management-related emails t...

Hello Members of PLCA, To help with not sending out multiple emails, in this email there is the following information: New Resort Manager -  Katheryne Jackson New Maintenance Manager – Jamie Sweet Aqua Weed Harvesting - Saturday, August 22, 2026 8:00 am Pool status   I am Katheryne Jackson your new Resort Manager.  I know that it has been a little time since you have heard the news about me being the new Resort Manager, however, there was issue with me getting access to the contacts.  This issue has now been resolved, although I will need some time to update the contact information so I can assure all members are receiving my communications.

The pool leak has been dealt with! The pool is currently being filled and when filling is complete, we just have to wait for the Health Unit to clear it for use! Targeting Monday or Tuesday for re-opening.

Sorry to announce the pool will be closed. We have a major water leak and cannot keep the pool at a safe level with 2 hoses running full time. The pumps have been off since yesterday and the water level is still going down. We have contacted our pool contractor and are waiting for an update on time. I am sending this out at the request of the office as there is no easy way to reach the members for them. Thanks for your patience and we will keep you updated. Jim Burrows, Executive Director

As a follow-up to our earlier announcement of the resignation of our Park Manager, John Churchill, effective July 11, the Board of Directors would like to add the following additional update for our Members:  1) Our Park and Association continue to be strong and healthy.  Recent management and Board changes have been driven by personal decisions, and we ask the membership to respect the personal privacy of all involved.  At a future time we will announce further details for a proper send off for both Penny Parnell and John Churchill.  Both have been important individuals that have served our Park and Association for decades! 2) Our Office Manager, Katheryne Jackson, has agreed to take on added responsibilities as acting Resort Manager, a position she will hold for the duration of the season.  The Board will be supporting Katheryne with these added responsibilities and seeks the support of all across the Membership during this time.  3) Cody Mullen remains o...
