We have had inquiries about the new towers that have been erected on the Main Beach at Silver Lake Road and the former Red Road Cafe at the north end near Main Street. The Band has also installed poles along the beach and is currently burying cable along the beach. This undertaking will be complete within the next 10 days to 2 weeks.
The purpose is to create a Wi-Fi system that will be available to day trippers using the Main Beach. The cost will be $4.99/hr or $9.99/24hrs. Payment for the system will be on-line. Cottagers who are close enough to receive the signal can also connect on the limited basis described above.
Once the system is up and running smoothly the Band will consider adding a monthly service option for those cottagers who are close enough to receive the signal.
We will post notice of that development if/when it happens.
More Information
Inquiries about this or the Band internet service should call Rob Skye at the Band administration offices.

I very much appreciate receiving SCOI new as well as the clean look of the information. Thank you
Thanks so much! Feedback of any kind is always welcome, but “atta boys” are the best!
I appreciate your prompt response to my question.
Our pleasure, Ian. We were wondering about those very same things ourselves!
What’s everyone doing about their/the band’s ash trees?
Last year there were a number of inquiries about who was responsible for removing dead or diseased ash trees. The Band’s position is that removal of trees from a cottager’s land-lease lot is the responsibility of the cottage owner. Presumably removal of dead or diseased trees that are a hazard from Band land (road allowances & rights of way between lots, rests with the Band.
Cottagers are reminded that before removing any trees from your lot, you must first get permission from the Lands Management Office on Indian Agency Road.
