Each year a community in the Lake of Bays area is researched and cultural history documented in a video and booklet. This year the Whiskey Bay Community will be showcased at the AGM.
What makes Whiskey Bay unique is that during prohibition three whiskey stills were operating. Local farms produced the ingredients for the whiskey production and boat docks provided access for deliveries.
Two lakefront subdivisions created the Whiskey Bay Community in the 1940s and 1950s. Remarkably most of the mid-century cottages remain in the ownership of the original families. The longevity of the original owners is also remarkable. Aileen Blair will be 100 on July 24th. Aileen has spent time every summer for the past seventy years at her cottage on Whiskey Bay and will be the Guest of Honour at the AGM.
