The fountain

I have no knowledge of a "Buffer Zone" in any lake in Canada.

It is my understanding that ownership of Lakefront Property extends to the Low Water Line.

There are a few snowflakes out there that think by
purchasing Lakefront Property, they indeed "own" the Lake. The world is full of crazies.........

As to the on going situation with "Pumpman" I would think you need to contact the Federal Member of Parliament for that County. Township and Provincial Gov people have little jurisdiction to authorize pump removal.
At best, the Fed's may demand he ring caution tape around the pump's disposal area. I doubt pumpman would enjoy looking at Caution Tape through the windows of his home. His invited guest's over the winter would surely deem him "nuts" unless they 2 are "snowflakes".

Take it easy boy's and girl's. The Township Councillor seems sincere but he knows he nor the township cannot enforce removal. They have NO Jurisdiction. Winning this beef is all uphill. Been there done that.

. Couldn't find my email but here's one similar off the board


I got response back from one of the council members, take for what its wort but basically it was a middle finger to sportsmen.


Good morning Darrel, after reviewing your email concerns/complaints and checking our Town By laws as well as Provincial legislation, the area and residential property you have referred to is not breaking any of our laws. There are no rules regarding bubblers or the like and truthfully if you check out maps.simcoe.ca you will see that the entire area in question shows a shoreline buffer zone in which you should not be interfering with anyways.

It is unfortunate that your fellow ice fishermen have not shown the same respect or courtesy to our existing tax paying residents as they had in the past and truthfully, no one has a given right to access the lake through the Town of Innisfil’s road ends. This is a courtesy that we have provided to this point which I think may need to be revisited as these incidents escalate. Additionally no one has a given right to park on the ice accessed from our road ends either.

The Fish & Wildlife Act that has been referenced in the numerous emails received yesterday loosely touches on “obstruction” which I would suggest would be very difficult to prove whether a resident is just protecting their shore line, rink or whatever but if you feel the need, you are more than welcome to pursue this further through that agency as is not in our jurisdiction.

As for those who are considering accessing the lake from our neighboring communities, that is your prerogative and until we have additional amenities including extra hotel rooms, restaurants and such to fully service those coming through our town it is understandable.



Thanks Rob Nicol

The Players. The pump man's name is Arnoldo Macile He is a convicted drug trafficker that dumps garbage at the beach. His aliases are Rolando, Arnold, Renaldo, girl thingy and Arrnie Maciel . He is a small little man, tattooed head to toe and probably on steroids with a small dick. His wife is reading this post to him because he is illiterate. Hi Arnoldo. Small dick, big ass hole. Big ass hole for picking up soap in the penitentiary. Ha ha.
Yes, all our posts are read to him.
The pump man enjoys the drama he causes by sabotaging the shoreline at the end of Gilford Rd. He gets a kick out of it. Sad life.
Soon, someone will get hurt I told the police who came to my door last night. The pump man already assaulted my 80 year old mother I said. Yes Arnoldo sent the police to my door for the tenth time. Supposedly, Arnoldo is afraid of the CBFB this time. I'm sure he will call the cops again or slash tires again or break my window again. What a girl thingy.
Next door to the pump man is the Spinster, Arnoldo's girlfriend. Her name is Laurie, over 50, homely looking. She runs around with a video camera looking for action then calls the cops if you look at her funny. Stay away from her. She is crazy.
As to Counselor Rob Nicole. He told me last year, "We do not pay taxes" what a guy. So forget about him. He won't be reelected anyway.
The last player is Jack the local drunk. He is Arnoldos pregnant dog. He hangs around the shoeline and reports to Arnoldo as a stooge. He is drunk at 7:00am and will call the police if he doesn't like you. Jack runs a competing website and will do anything to get noticed.
So, what does all this mean.
Gentlemen, Ice fishermen, direct your comments on the sabotage of the shoreline to Lynn Dollin, Deputy Mayor. She knows the story. Get her involved. Put the pressure on her.

Good luck to all and have a good ho ho hole.

So the tattooed rat on steroids has two underling rats . Interesting .

The following was taken from my notes of a few years ago. Not certain of where this information originated from so no references are made.

As you read this you can see there is really No real application of BUFFER ZONE imho.

In the 1800's surveys were done and road allowances of I believe 66 feet were added to the final resultant survey to accommodate logging roads along said shoreline. NOTE: (The councilor may be referring to this as the Buffer Zone. I don't know.)

In Ontario, the relevant legislation is The Bed of Navigable Waters Act of 1911. This act enforced the crown bed of navigable waters as a provincial jurisdiction, but it was not clear how far that bed extended. In 1940, the provincial government amended the act to specifically describe the upper limit as being the high-water mark, but this amendment was struck out in 1951.

Some case law preceding the 1940 amendment indicated that the low-water mark was in fact the limit of private property, and there is some opinion today that this is the case. However, the situation is far from clear.

In 1998, the Ministry of Natural Resources issued a policy for its surveyors who were marking out crown land for disposal. The policy stated that they were to measure down to the “water’s edge.”

The “high-water mark” is used only in places where there is artificial flooding (ie. hydroelectric).

But defining “water’s edge” is no mean feat, especially when water levels are constantly rising and falling. The issue of public rights and access to the shoreline is a burning issue in several areas of the province where there are major beaches, and is far from resolved.

Not a good idea as lets take the high road , time is on our side . happy ho ho .

Something to think about.
Obviously the pumps are running on electricity.
Are the pumps and the instillation approved and inspected for outdoor and underwater use?
I am sure a call the ESA the electrical safety association ( the regulating body) would prove interesting.
They have the power to immediately pull his meter if they feel it is an unsafe instillation.
There are an endless list of criteria, I believe that one main one is that there must be a disconnect switch in close proximity to the pumps, same as having one right beside your outdoor air conditioner unit. This is so you can shut off power in an emergency or to preform service. Also what is the GFI setup?
Hydro works faster than the ministry.

Role of ESA

The Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) is an administrative authority mandated by the Government of Ontario to enhance public electrical safety in the province. We are both a safety regulator and advocate.

Our powers and duties derive from The Electricity Act and The Safety and Consumer Statutes Administration Act including responsibility for four regulations:
The Ontario Electrical Safety Code (Regulation 164/99) which defines how electrical work will be done;
Licensing of Electrical Contractors and Master Electricians (Regulation 570/05) which sets requirements for those doing electrical work;
Electrical Distribution Safety (Regulation 22/04) which defines safety accountabilities for Ontario’s Licensed Distribution Companies (LDCs); and
Electrical Product Safety (Regulation 438/07) which addresses approval of electrical products before their sale, and response to unsafe industrial and commercial products in the marketplace.



ESA’s primary activities are: identifying and targeting leading causes of electrical safety risk; ensuring compliance with regulations; promoting awareness, education and training; and collaborating with stakeholders to improve the state of electrical safety in Ontario.

ESA is a private, not-for-profit corporation headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario with staff deployed across the province.

Improving electrical safety for all Ontarians in the community, in the home and the workplace – this is a driving force at ESA.

I think Mr. Nickel is trying to say he can't do anything about it. So I think we should be emailing someone else other than Mr. Knickole, I don't think Mr. Nichole can help. There's got to be someone other than Mr. Nicole that can help us out. Mr. Nichel is a municipal politician maybe we need to talk to a provincial politician. Perhaps Mr. Knichkelle can confirm.
