Rest in Peace Mayor Fearrey.

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Dysart et al Mayor Murray Fearrey on May 28th, 2026.
Murray served our community with dedication, compassion and integrity. Throughout his time in office, which spans back to 1971, he worked tirelessly to support the residents of our community at both the Dysart et al and County Council tables.
On behalf of Council and municipal staff, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Donna McCallum and the rest of his family, friends, colleagues, and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside our Mayor.
Murray’s leadership, commitment, and presence will be greatly missed throughout the municipality and beyond.
Municipal flags have been lowered to half-mast in honour of Mayor Fearrey.
His family created a website in honour of his long history of community service that details many of the contributions that he made during his lifetime. https://murrayfearrey.manus.space
Rest in peace Murray

Out on the water? If you see a Grass Carp-like fish, you do not need to be certain before reporting it.

A useful report gives reviewers something to check: clear photos if safe, the exact place, the date and time, and what happened. Try for a whole-fish photo and a head or mouth view. Common Carp can look similar, so even uncertain reports can help experts sort out what was seen.

Keep distance, take photos only if safe, and report suspected Grass Carp at EDDMapS.org. Learn more at InvasiveCarp.ca.

🌊 Protect the Lakes You Love 🚤

As part of Safe Boating Awareness Week, FOCA reminds you to:
✔️ Clean
✔️ Drain

before moving your boat to another lake or waterbody.

These simple steps help stop the spread of invasive species and protect Ontario’s waterways for future generations.
