The last long weekend of the summer is upon us. This doesn’t mean the summer is over completely as children go back to school and everyone gets back to a routine. However, making the most of Labour Day weekend at the cottage is important. We have compiled this list of activities as a guide to making the last weekend of the summer count.
Check with your local municipality about permits/bans. Bonfires are perfect for late summer / autumn nights at the cottage.
I know thinking about closing down the cottage is hard when the weather is still nice. However, being prepared makes life easier when the time comes.
It’s never too late to start a summer DIY project at the cottage. Cottage Life is a great resource for inspiration and ideas.
Do you have a closet at the cottage full of stuff you never use? Pull everything out, decide what to keep, what to donate and what to throw away.
Early bird gets the worm. Waking up early to watch the sunrise is always rewarding. Take pictures and enter them into our Photo Contest!
All Trails is a great resource to find trails in your area.
The dock is a peaceful place to practice Yoga, especially early in the morning.
This is the last long weekend of the summer. There is no better weekend to impress your friends and family with a special meal. The Food Network Canada has great “Make Ahead” recipes if you don’t want to spend the entire weekend in the kitchen. This is also a great opportunity to clear out your pantry too. This will save you hauling back food that you don’t want to leave at the cottage over the winter.
Clear up fallen branches, pull out weeds before they turn to seed and rake up leaves. Its better to complete these things now as it will be one less chore in the spring.
Whether its a canoe, kayak, power boat, sail boat or stand up paddle board, spend as much time on the water as you can.
At CanadaDocks™, we take great pride in designing and constructing top-quality standing docks, floating docks, and dock accessories. All our docks are proudly manufactured at our state-of-the-art facility in Beeton, Ontario, conveniently located just 30 minutes north of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
