2026 Beach Pass Program – updates will be made here. Monitor regularly.
We are in the process of implementing a digital platform for beach access. During this transition year, both physical and digital passes will be accepted.
2026 Beach Passes will be available the first week of June.
A friendly reminder that 2025 Beach Passes remain valid until May 31.
Victoria Day Weekend – As we transition to our new digital system, Ambassadors will not be actively enforcing beach passes over the Victoria Day weekend. They will, however, be available to assist where needed and help ensure a safe and enjoyable beach experience for everyone. Regular beach access enforcement will begin in June once the new pass system is fully in place.
Additional details will be shared here as this program is implemented.
Road Construction Update: Beaverdam Crescent, Shoreline Drive, and Christie Boulevard
With spring construction now underway, members can expect to see work continuing on Beaverdam Crescent and Shoreline Drive, along with the start of road reconstruction on Christie Boulevard. Paving for all three streets is anticipated to resume this spring as crews work toward completing these important infrastructure improvements.
We sincerely thank our members for their continued patience, understanding, and cooperation throughout this process.

Spring Leaf Pickup Program
Spring leaf pick-up will wrap up after the Victoria Day weekend. The property management team will make their final round throughout the community May 19- May 26. Please have your leaves out no later than May 18th.
Leaf Pick-Up Guidelines
- Pile leaves close to the road, not on the road. Keep piles short – combine long rows into 2-3 piles per property.
- Do not pile the leaves around trees or 911 signs
- SPPA does not pick-up bush clean-out. If you rake leaves out of the bush, you must dispose of them yourself. Ensure your contractors are aware of this.
- Rake only from lawns, gardens, septic beds, and driveways.
- Please do your best to remove sticks and stones before piling leaves to protect our equipment.
- Never dump leaves or debris into the Old Ausable Channel. Doing so is harmful and against the law.
Brush Pickup Program
Brush Pick-Up Program
Third (3rd) Week of EACH MONTH
If it is put out mid-week and your street has already been collected, it will be picked up the following month.
- Limited to branches from deadfall and windfall and minor maintenance trimming ONLY
- Does not include equipment-damaging items such as root balls, plants, weeds, sawdust, or stones
- Ensure brush is less than 3″ in diameter
- Place brush at road side with all butt ends facing in the same direction
- Leave the brush FULL LENGTH (i.e. if you cut down a branch that is 15′ long, leave it 15′ long)
- Pile small branches, less than 12″ in length separately or place in cardboard box
** For larger composting needs, the Municipality of Lambton Shores compost site is located at 7550 Brush Road, near the Forest Wastewater Treatment Plant. Click Here for more information on this site.

Reminder to Dog Owners
- Dogs are not allowed on Sun Beach.
- Please keep your dog(s) on a leash when off your property.
- “Stoop ‘n Scoop” pet droppings when off your property. This is a Municipal Bylaw which carries a substantial fine if not followed. We want to keep the “Pines” as neat and enjoyable as possible for everyone when they are out walking or biking.
