Advanced voting for Council and Mayor is currently open.
Wednesday was once again sunny and had an afternoon high a little above average for this time of year. The mercury topped out at 63F. It looks like this stretch of sunny, pleasant days will continue through the rest of this week and into the weekend, although temps do fall back to be near normal in the mid-50s. Not much chance for rain until early next week. Some disagreement between the various forecasts whether that rain will be Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.
Experimenting with a new air temperature sensor on the weather page of this website. Looks like it is working OK over the past 18 hours since being installed.
The list of candidates for the municipal election is posted on the municipal website. (limerick.ca) Advanced on-line voting began on Monday the 19th. The final day of voting is October 26th.

The 2026 fishing regulations are on-line.

The fishing seasons and regulations for this area (zone 15) remained the same in 2026 as in recent years. They are on pages 104-114 of the 2026 regulations book. Bass started on June 27 and ends November 30. Trout started January 1 and ended September 30 with the slot size of 16 to 21 inches to be returned to the lake. It is a one-line lake for ice fishing. Trout will most likely open once again on January 1, 2027 for ice fishing. I will keep an eye out for the 2027 regulations. They are usually posted in early December.
