(SMOKE LAKE, ON) - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is happy to report that two teenagers, missing in Algonquin Park have been found safe. An OPP Canine Unit located the girls late this morning, July 15, 2019. Officers report that the girls are in good health and have been reunited with their families, who had travelled to the area. The girls had made it about a quarter of the way toward their destination when they realized they had left the trail and were lost. They drew on their education about being in the forest and practiced the message of "hug a tree". When lost in the forest it is always best to stop and stay where you are, rather than continuing on, possibly farther from any trails and potential rescue. The girls were reported missing at approximately 10:00 p.m. on Friday, July 12, 2019. A major search effort began on Saturday morning as members of the OPP Emergency Response Team (ERT), front line members from several OPP detachments, and several OPP Canine Units converged on the area assisted by Park Wardens and members of the Ontario Search and Rescue Volunteer Association (OSARVA). An OPP helicopter and a float plane from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests also took part in the search. The girls, despite becoming lost, did the right things by staying put and rationing their food and water. They had a tent and other camping equipment and limited supplies. The OPP would like to thank our partners and members of the public for support during the search.

Get ready to tee-off for the annual Mayor’s Golf Tournament, taking place on Thursday September 12th at the Grandview Mark O’Meara and Inn Golf Courses in Huntsville. Every year the event focuses on a charitable theme and proceeds from this year’s tournament will support healthcare and health related causes in our community. This year the event will raise funds for the Huntsville Hospital Foundation, Community Living Huntsville, Enliven Centre for Wellbeing in Cancer, and Christine’s Place Pregnancy and Family Support Center. Mayor Aitchison expressed his thanks for the continued support for the event, “We are so pleased that this event continues to grow every year. Last year we raised over $60,000 for healthcare in Huntsville and this year, we hope to beat that, with a goal of $65,000.” Devonleigh Homes is proud to be the returning title sponsor of this event and echo’s the sentiments of the Mayor, “It is our privilege to live, work, and play in this vibrant wonderful community. We are thrilled to support an event that gives back so much,” said Andrew Kidd, President of Devonleigh Homes. The 2019 tournament is expected to fill up quickly, so players wishing to reserve a spot are encouraged to do so as soon as possible by submitting a player registration form available at Huntsville.ca. Participants can register individually, or as a team of four for $250 per person and enjoy 18 holes on the prestigious Mark O’Meara course, with lunch, prizes, cocktails, and a fabulous dinner prepared by the Grandview Culinary Team. Again this year, is the option to play 18 holes of golf on the shorter Grandview Inn course, with prizes, cocktails and dinner for only $125.00 per player.
