Birch Pine Park

Beautiful location off the shores off Lake Huron. Named after our magnificent, tall, White Birch and Weather Permitting. Shawkence. Johns Ambulance Service.

We are a Seasonal RV Park that is only open through the months of May, through the summer and we officially close on Thanksgiving weekend. We have NO tenting available anymore, we only allow tenting if you are going to be staying on a lot of a Seasonal Camper in Birch Pine. Birch Pine Park was established in 1974 by the Late Chief Charlie K. A gifted musician who could play any instrument by ear,

during Charlie's lifetime achievements; he was a police constable, a coach for sports and actively involved with youth. He was an ambulance attendant with the St. He also played with various musicians down through the years, playing in nursing homes, legions, and any event where fiddle music could be heard. During his years of service as a leader, he was presented with an Eagle Feather by the Union of Ontario Indians. In 1974 Premier Bill Davis made a declaration naming a township in the Northern Region of Ontario after the Shawkence name, this was valuable recognition for his contribution to the development of this region at the time. Charlie served as a leader of Kettle & Stony Point First Nation for 14 years. He was also a founding member of the London District Chiefs Council. Charlie was a fighter and he fought for many Anishinabe (first nations people). He wanted a better way of life for those that know about the reserve life. He had a vision of a new community centre, school, water treatment plant, health centre and grocery store. He lived to see it come about. The greatest recognition of achievement that was bestowed on Charlie was when he was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Union of Ontario Indians in the year 2000. He has bequeathed this burial ground as his resting place where he entered into, in the New Millennium. In dedication this area is a place of peace and mediation. The Memorial Mediation Garden and Bird Sanctuary are in his honour. Charlie's family lineage can be traced through to the Great War Chief Tecumseh. Charlie is the son of Baxter Shawkence. His grandfather was Wesley Shawkence and his great grandfather was Shahkeens Big Knife also known as "Chi-Mauk-Man. Chi-Mauk-Man's father was the companion to Chippewa warrior O Shawanoo Big Knife, nephew to Tecumseh, who fought the Americans in the War of 1812. Charlie was a loving family man, father, grandfather and great grandfather. War medals were given to Tecumseh for fighting in this great battle and Charlie was in possession of these medals, which were passed down from elders. Charlie created Birch Pine Park as part of a legacy to leave behind. We do our very best to carry on his vision and his wishes for what he wanted here. We are known for our beautiful location. We have award-winning gardens on our property that no words can do justice. It is something you truly have to see for yourself! We have a wildlife sanctuary here, as many of our animals call this place home as well. We take pride in knowing that this is the place set aside as an Sanctuary for Peace and Rest. As of 2021~we are heading into a new decade of securing this Peace. As well we are thankful and so very blessed to have a refuge for the Animals of Nature that frequently can be seen in the Wildlife Sanctuary Gardens.

I am so very thankful for running into Kevin , in the shop in town, and we remembered that He is a Singer! with a Band. He doesn't have his whole band , like the last time he sang in the Park....as things sometimes do happen, ...but he was going to see if they could make it happen.......Saturday Night Live! and He sang this Special Song of request for me. He sang it once, but! ~I had to take someone home, I was out of the Park. When I returned.....they graciously sang it again. He is a living Testimony of how the Lord works......Jehovah Jirah the Lord our Provider..................and Healer. Jehovah Rapha. It is who He is, a miracle working Lord. For He was told he would never sing again....and here he is, singing "Hallelujah " this was so incredibly Special, more than I would ever know. Jesus knew.......thank you Jesus.
Labour Day Saturday Night August 31st, 2024 and so much more..........

A Testimony. Saturday Night August 31st, 2024 and so much more...............one never knows what is going on in another person's life, but God. He's our very present help in a time of any kind of trouble. I am a believer of that fact, and I hold true to His Word. For they are Life........thank you Louise for sharing such love, and a Gift of Faith, for seeing how God truly works in mysterious ways with His Wonders to perform..........

Hello People ~ Not a Good Morning ~for some~ but it is a good beautiful morning. For whomever was blowing off the 🔥 Fireworks last night ~ it could mean Eviction ~ You were Willfully Disturbing the Peace. It’s a Rule that has been broken ~ even though you clearly knew it was a No No.
Please Know This Will Not Be Tolerated.

It’s Starting Up Again ~ STOP with the DUMPING
Outside of the Dumpsters. STOP with the DUMPING of the Junk you no longer wish to have. You are to take your items out with you~ or bag it and take it elsewhere ~ Possibly Other Places Who Accept it.
Just Quit with Dumping it On The Ground back Beside the Bins. Open your eyes to NO DUMPING!

Needless aggravation. There are Signs posted …..

I went to the North Shore~ and didn't see anything but cloud cover~ so I decided to head to the West Side................and it did not disappoint. The Eagle was not to be outdone by the visiting Osprey~ for in the middle of filming this an Adult Bald Eagle flew into this phenomenal storm , this Tuesday August 27th, 2024~
and so much more..........you would need to have really good vision to spot that Eagle which came up , and turned it's
face to the WIND! and the rain got the best of my lenses, and could not quite finish this video shoot. I absolutely am blessed to capture the moment. Thank you Lord for watering your plants......

Tuesday 😳 whoa! August 27, 2024 and soooooo
Much more heat as those Storms passed by! Once that ball of fire was cleared of the cloud cover thee temperatures are still rising. Hello! Stay cool as much as can be possible ~ stay off the Hiways, it can be a treacherous drive~ there seems to be a great deal of accidents. Slow Down and Watch Out. Keep your eyes 👀 on the other person, the vehicular traffic, stay off your phone~ yes all of the above, for an accident can happen way tooo quickly. True Story.
Be safe not Sorry. 🙏🙏🙏🕊💯⛈⛈⛈⛈⛈more rainy weather is coming, watch , that your awnings are tilted.

08/27/2024

Yep! It’s getting all worked up trying to out~do that ol Super Blue Full Moon that just happened, last week ~ and now a Tropical Heat Wave is happening!
Please be ultra careful, don’t overdo working in the heat outside. Be safe not sorry. Drink plenty of water.
Monday August 26, 2024. With that noted:
For anyone interested in Yard Sales~ Yard Sale will be happening this Saturday August 31st!!!!2024. More details will be posted ~ for if you are interested ~ in participating ~ let us know!!!

08/26/2024

Take a look 👀~ at how high the Heat was~ before Noon on this Last & Final Monday of August!!!!
26, 2024 and so much more. It’s a bittersweet
Week, with it being the last week of SummerHolidays for everyone who has to return to School. It has travelled by too fast ~ everything is moving ahead too quickly as we look around on the ground seeing
fallen leaves 🍁. Proclaiming an Early Fall. 🍁
The Team is in the 3rd week of preparations for the new Site Markers. This is so needed, as some sites didn’t have markers anymore. Some just plain were lying flat on the ground or broken off. This will benefit Service Workers, Service Providers to locate your Site better. Especially if we need an Ambulance or OPP in for any such calls. This is a work in progress, it is time
Consuming. There’s a great deal of thought that goes into this change ~ as we are Changing for the better. It will take time to follow thru and get them in place.
As with all good things~ it takes time, hard work, and great decisions in the detailing. They are not quitefully finished, as more details will be forthcoming. Enjoy 😊 this Heatwave ~ stay hydrated with lots of water 💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦Be safe, try not to overdo yourself with too much Sun.

Very Toasty !!! In thee afternoon ~
Saturday August 24!!!2024 and so much more…….
Enjoy while you can, last full week of Summertime Holidays ~ before Labour Day Weekend!
Where did the time go?????
Be safe. Be careful ~ watch out for the other person.
Drive more slowly and safely ~ the roadways are crowded! Traffics lines at intersections are piling up.
And yes, last but not least~ Prayers for Emergency Service Providers. Calls now take longer to get help on the line. More waits. I do think 💭 this Blue Moon 🌚 Super Waning Moon still has some effects going on~ don’t be caught up in it’s antics. Be safe~ not sorry 😣. Take Time for a Time Out. 🕊🕊🕊🕊

Not the Sun setting~
on this Tuesday August 20th, 2024 and so much more.........
It's a Rare Phenomenon~ of a Super Full Blue Moon~
it' quite huge, as it is closet to this Planet, it will be, and you will be feeling and hearing the sound effects of the pull on the water at the Lake~ it's roaring....................Be safe, be prayerful. Be on guard. It's always good to pray, at the end of the day, and to give thanks for the Lords keeping power. (One thing, I do not like.........yes, it is a true story, that I do not like all the
Wind Turbines, that line the Territory, they wreck many a photo.
The movement from these wind turbines, disturbed the focus of these photos. )

Captured! thee Super Full Blue Moon rising.............
On this Tuesday August 20th, 2024 and so much more.................I was not able to be up in the middle of the night to capture this Full Blue Moon, that is a SuperMOON, due to the cloud cover. But tonight on this rare occasion of a
Super Full Blue Moon~ it is in it's full glory with the sounds of the Lake arising also. The Super Full Blue Moon, has a gravitational pull on the water, and all living things that carry water~ including you. If you have noticed feeling a bit "off" it could very well be the reason why. This Super Full Blue Moon is the closest it is to the Earth, when it is in this state. Be wary of things that go on in the middle of the night, as there will be a wide range of things going on all over this Planet. It is why most people, who pray, 🙏🙏🙏 are called upon to pray thru, to pray thru these times of the Full Moon. Emergency rooms will be full, with all kinds of things a happening. Pray for the Service People, and those who are helping in the streets to keep them safe. 🙏🙏🙏

It's a remarkably!🤓 surprisingly 😍wonderfully ☺️beautiful 💝 Saturday, with rainy, misty, superbly singing songbirds, and sunshine in the mix~ calling for Windy wind gusts and possibly thunder and exciting lightning ~ SO unpredictable. it's all good. August 17th, 2024 and so much more............... I absolutely love it when the Lord does wonderful works, and makes the weather so nice and unpredictable. All in all~ It's a good day for BINGO. Thank you Kate~ our new #1 Volunteer! Blessings to you.🙏💝🙏

2nd Full Week of August is underway and ~under the water ~ so to speak, for some repairs to the Adult / kiddie Pool. Monday's are designated for Pool Cleaning Day. There is wear and tear a happening, as it is noted.....and yes, it is a well used Pool. We are thankful for the tedious work that Jesse does, in maintenance, and the need for it to be fixed, before it became worse. Thank you all who abide by the Rules, of limiting the amount of people in the Pool per hour. It has been repaired, and will be needing , a mat, to go underneath the heavy steps that shift about while in use.......... It has been a Monday fix, with lots of mileage to and fro , for getting items needed not only for the Pool, but for Site Markers to be replaced , yes another expense. Signs need to be fixed, and it is all good, as we are commended on the upkeep of this big place, which takes a great deal of time and effort to maintain it all. 🙏🙏🙏on this Monday August 12th, 2024 and so much more.......
