Respecting Our Beach Neighbours
As we near the end of another busy beach season, a friendly reminder that some areas immediately adjoining the beach are private residential properties.
As we continue to enjoy Sun Beach and the surrounding shoreline, members, guests and renters are asked to respect our neighbours by avoiding clearly private residential areas, observing posted signage, and ensuring that children and guests do the same.
SPPA does not determine or enforce private property boundaries along the broader shoreline, but we can all do our part to be considerate of those who live along the beach and help maintain the neighbourly relationships that are an important part of life in Southcott Pines.

Spring Leaf Pickup Program
2026 Fall Leaf Pick-Up Program 🍂
SPPA’s annual Fall Leaf Pick-Up Program for Members in Good Standing will begin on Monday, October 19. We are again using the same three collection zones that worked well last year, but the program will start a little later to better match the timing of actual leaf fall and reduce unnecessary early collection.
Each zone is scheduled for three (3) collection passes:
Zone 1
Grand Oaks, Dogwood, Sumac, Beaver Dam Court, Beaver Dam Crescent, Maplewood, Trillium and Live Oak
• Pass 1: Week of Monday, October 19
• Pass 2: Week of Monday, November 9
• Pass 3: Week of Monday, November 30
Zone 2
Shoreline, Brewster North & South, Christie, Pines Parkway, Birch, Albert and Allison
• Pass 1: Week of Monday, October 26
• Pass 2: Week of Monday, November 16
• Pass 3: Week of Monday, December 7
Zone 3
Lakeview, Sherwood, Parkside, Wood Park, Haven Park, Riverside, Brookbank, Oakburn, Princess and William
• Pass 1: Week of Monday, November 2
• Pass 2: Week of Monday, November 23
• Pass 3: Week of Monday, December 14
Please have your leaves ready for collection by the scheduled start date for your zone. If your leaves are not ready when the crew passes your property, they will be collected during the next scheduled pass rather than through a special return trip.
The program remains weather-dependent. Heavy snow, frozen leaf piles or municipal snowplowing can affect both collection timing and the crew’s ability to work efficiently. Our goal is to complete all three passes before Christmas.
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.
