Resort Village of Tobin Lake

06/13/2026

***Reminder***

The garbage bins located at the boat launch are intended for regular household waste and are provided as a convenience for residents who may occasionally miss their regular garbage pickup day.

Commercial and construction materials are not accepted. If you are renovating, you may arrange for your own bin.

In addition, metal posts were recently left at the transfer station. Metal posts are not an accepted recyclable material and create additional disposal costs for the Village.

Garbage disposal costs for the Village totaled $36,141 in 2025. To help control these expenses, residents are asked to use the facilities responsibly and dispose of materials through the appropriate channels.

Thank you for your cooperation.

PUBLIC NOTICE: MANDATORY WATER RESTRICTION
Date of Issue: June 13, 2026

Notice of Water Restriction
Please be advised that an immediate Water Restriction Order is in effect for all residents and businesses within the Resort Village of Tobin Lake.

A major water main leak occurred earlier today. While the leak has been successfully identified and repaired, our system’s water reserves have been significantly depleted.

Until further notice, please refrain from non-essential water use, including:
Watering lawns, gardens, trees, or shrubs
Washing vehicles, driveways, or exterior building surfaces
Filling hot tubs, pools, or large containers
Running high-volume appliances (like washing machines and dishwashers) unless absolutely necessary

Next Steps
This restriction is temporary and is required to allow the municipal reservoir to safely refill to normal operational levels. We are monitoring the reservoir closely and will provide an update as soon as the restriction can be lifted.

The Resort Village of Tobin Lake apologizes for this inconvenience and greatly appreciates your immediate cooperation and assistance in conserving our water supply.

***Attention Property Owners***

We'd like to bring to your attention that someone unlawfully entered the compound by removing one of the gates and subsequently an ice shack was removed. Upon noticing someone had entered the compound, RCMP were contacted and an investigation was initiated.

RVTL maintains a list of shack owners, however, there are several shacks without identification and not on our list. Should you have a shack in the compound, please contact the village office to provide a description and ensure your shack is marked with your name, address and phone number as per provincial regulations.

Should anyone have any information on who may have unlawfully entered the compound, please contact the village office.

***Reminder***

Recycling is no longer collected curbside, it is newly located at the the transfer station. Using the transfer station for recyclable materials helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill and helps keep our garbage collection and disposal costs lower.

Thank you for doing your part to keep our community clean and helping manage waste disposal costs.

***Fire Ban Lifted***

While conditions have improved, fire safety remains everyone's responsibility.

Please exercise caution when having campfires, fire pits, or other permitted outdoor fires. Never leave a fire unattended, keep a water source or appropriate extinguishing equipment nearby, and ensure the area around the fire is free of dry grass, leaves, and other combustible materials.

Before leaving, make sure your fire is completely extinguished. Douse it thoroughly with water, stir the ashes, and continue adding water until all embers are cool to the touch. A fire that appears out can still reignite if not properly extinguished.

Weather conditions can change quickly, and strong winds can increase the risk of fire spread. If conditions become unsafe, postpone burning activities until conditions improve.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe and reducing the risk of wildfires. Your cooperation and vigilance are appreciated.

Recycling is newly located at the the transfer station. Using the transfer station for recyclable materials helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill and helps keep our garbage collection and disposal costs lower.

Thank you for doing your part to keep our community clean and helping manage waste disposal costs.

As previously communicated, changes are coming to the recycling program.

Effective May 29, 2026, the recycling bin at the boat launch area will be removed and replaced with a larger container located just outside the gate at the transfer station. It will be placed in the same area currently designated for clean wood and branches. Please use this new location for all recyclables moving forward, and refer to the map below for assistance in finding the site.

Going forward, residential recycling pickup will no longer be available, therefore, all recycling will need to be dropped off at the transfer station instead. Please ensure items are placed loose and not in bags, and compacted as much as reasonably as possible. The poster below outlines what materials can be recycled.

We truly appreciate your cooperation and participation in the program, as it helps keep overall garbage costs down, which were $36,141 in 2025.

Thank you for doing your part!
