The Township has closed its cross-country ski trails at the former Frost Centre following last night's storm. The trails are currently littered with debris, including fallen trees, and rain has diminished the trail bed, creating extremely icy conditions. There are also washouts in many places. 

The Township of Algonquin Highlands is pleased to announce its acquisition of the Dorset Pavilion and Community Park in the hamlet of Dorset. The park has been gifted to the Township by cottagers Don Tapscott C.M. and Ana Lopes C.M. and has been renamed “Tapscott Lopes Park” in recognition of its donors.
