Fun Fact

Lake Simcoe contains approximately 2.9 trillion gallons of water, which means if every resident of Georgina tried to drink it all, you’d each need to consume roughly 64 billion gallons.

That’s like drinking 970 million cans of pop.

Per person.

We did the math. Twice.

Once on a calculator, and once while screaming the numbers really loud to make sure they were correct.

The point is: stay hydrated — but maybe just stick to your Brita filter.

A Winter Weekend That Knows Its Pace

This weekend isn’t about squeezing plans together.

It’s about choosing one or two things worth leaving the house for, then letting the rest of the time unfold — warm spaces, short outings, and plans that don’t feel rushed.

💡 Why this weekend matters
  • Winter weekends reward fewer, better plans

  • Community spaces feel more personal in January

  • One good outing is usually enough
