[Ontbirds]Port Perry lagoons permits 2008

[Geoff - Birds]

I have just been advised that the permits for access to the Port Perry lagoons will be available starting tomorrow, April 3rd. A new lock code will be provided when you purchase your permit.

Permits must be purchased in advance of entering the lagoons. Each individual must have his/her own permit. They cost $5.00 as they did last year.

The permits may be purchased at the Durham Region Transfer Site located at 1623 Reach Rd, Port Perry during the following business hours .... Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m.  To get to the transfer station, travel north on Hwy 12 past Port Perry [Hwy 7A] to the next traffic lights [Regional Road 8 = Reach Rd.] and travel east to #1623 on the north side of the road.

The lagoons are located one road north of the transfer site east off Hwy 12 on Concession Rd. 8 [don't get confused as, despite the fact that these roads are both numbered "8", they are two different roads - one is a regional paved road, the other a dirt concession road.]
