Quick answers
Do I need a permit to build near the water on Lake Simcoe?
Usually, yes. In an LSRCA regulated area you need the conservation authority's permit before the municipal building permit, and the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan limits new development in the vegetation protection zone. In Orillia, which is outside LSRCA's jurisdiction, check with the City and the Ministry of Natural Resources.
Does Parks Canada issue dock permits on Lake Simcoe?
Lake Simcoe is part of the Trent-Severn Waterway system, but it is not on Parks Canada's list of waterbodies under its in-water and shoreline works jurisdiction. The connecting channels near the Talbot River and between Couchiching and the Severn River are. Near those channels, call Parks Canada.
Which Lake Simcoe shores have municipal sewer?
Most of Barrie's waterfront is on city services. In Ramara, Brechin and Lagoon City share a sewage plant and a water plant, and Bayshore Village has its own sewage plant. Most of the Oro-Medonte and rural Ramara shoreline is on septic.
When do ice huts have to come off Lake Simcoe?
By March 15 in Fisheries Management Zone 16, or before the ice breaks up if that happens first.
Is Beaverton part of Ramara?
No. Beaverton is in Brock Township, Durham Region. Gamebridge is one of Ramara's settlement areas, though Lock 41's posted address is Beaverton.
