Regatta

Gigi LaRose is Papineau Lake’s new Regatta Coordinator for 2026.

First, a huge thank you to Lindsey Trypuc for all the incredible work she has put into the Regatta over the years and for the ongoing support she’s giving Gigi as she transitions into the role. Both will be working together this year to ensure success.

Annual Regatta: August 1st 2026, 10 am

  • Note: Team registration for volleyball, horseshoes and tug of war FINISHES at 10:30 am. Be sure to sign up early at the registration table to participate.

VOLUNTEERS:

  • The Regatta is entirely volunteer-run and simply wouldn’t happen without the amazing people who give their time. Please consider volunteering and contributing to the continued success of the Regatta. Most of the volunteer roles don’t last the entire event, so you’ll still have plenty of time to enjoy the day’s activities.
  • The earlier we have volunteers and equipment, the less Gigi will be scrambling later on or risk cancelling some activities, including the Regatta itself.
  • The volunteer sign-up portal is live.
  • We are also hiring TWO PAID LIFEGUARDS ($25/h), current NLS certification required.

RAFFLE:   

  • Sue LaRose has volunteered to be the 2026 Raffle Coordinator. The Raffle Coordinator requests & collects donations prior to the event.  They categorize items, coordinate the raffle, set up day of etc.
  • Vera Gunn has generously offered to contact local businesses for donations again this year. If you have donations or are interested in helping collect donations, please let Gigi know at regatta@papineaulake.com.
  • Drop off items to the raffle:
    • HOME DROP OFF: At the LaRose Cottage, Boyles’ Beach. Contact regatta@papineaulake.com for the address.
      • Please fill out a drop-off sheet found in the plastic box on our covered deck. There is an option to opt in to confirm we have received your item.
  • Deadline: The drop-off deadline is July 27th to allow enough time to organize.
  • Thank you in advance for your donations.

FOOD

  • The McGarrell Family is taking care of food once again. A big thank you to them for volunteering their time.

Mark your calendars for the 2026 Annual Regatta on Saturday, August 1st at 10:00 a.m. on the South Beach! ⬆️ Back to Top

Papineau Lake’s 2026 “Best Ball Scramble” Golf Tournament

Saturday, August 22nd is our annual Papineau Lake Golf Tournament. It’s being held again at The Homestead at Wolf Ridge, a beauty of a course off Highway 60, just west of Killaloe.

All skill levels and abilities are welcome to join in on this fun lake event! Anyone who’s played this tournament in years past will tell you it’s a great time. And, we’re always looking for more teams to participate. So don’t be shy—Come out and have a ball!

What is a “Best Ball Scramble“? 

This version welcomes people of all abilities to play and compete. All players on the team hit the ball. Then they decide which ball is the best one for taking the next shot. Then, everyone hits their ball from that spot, and so on, until the hole is complete.

Trophies will be awarded to the winning team. Awards for men’s and women’s longest drive, closest to the pin, and overall lowest team score will also be handed out. Team outfits are strongly encouraged but not required!

Men 60 years of age and older can tee off at the white tee blocks. Men 59 and under will tee off from the blue tee blocks. Women and children under 15 will tee off from the red tee.

How to Get In on the Fun

Register your team’s foursome slot any time by emailing MarkTrypuc@hotmail.com, Golf Tournament Coordinator.  If you’re a texter, feel free to text him about the tournament 647-202-6568. Provide the team name, the captain’s name & email address, and the names of the team members.

How Much?

All you’ll pay is Wolf Ridge’s regular 18-hole Saturday fee of $61/person. This isn’t a fundraiser—it’s just a fun golf day with a post-golf get together with some of your lake neighbours!

No Foursome? No Problem!

Mark can set you up with a foursome whether you’re a single, twosome or threesome. Details on the après-golf festivities will be sent exclusively to registered tournament participants.

What Then?

Once Mark has a list of teams, he’ll send an email with more details about the event to all the captains. Details about the après-golf festivities will be sent exclusively to registered tournament participants.

Mark looks forward to hearing from you with your team! ⬆️ Back to Top

Annual General Meeting (AGM)
