Hello dear Opiniconers! Spring is coming, vaccines are here, and we’re finally (finally!) starting to see glorious light at the end of this particular pandemic... tunnel. It’s important to remember that we’re still in the tunnel though, despite our collective desire to be done with it all. To make sure we’re doing the very best we can to safely serve our guests and staff, we’ll be modifying our offerings in 2021 with physical distancing and cleanliness at the centre of our decision making. The happy announcement is that The Opinicon Dining Room and Pub will reopen by reservation starting May long weekend! We can’t wait to welcome everyone back and can assure you that we have been perfecting recipes, measuring out tables, and instituting rigorous protocols to keep everyone as safe as possible. If you were able to join us in the Fall, you’ll know that we take your safety and enjoyment seriously. For those of you living on the lake, I’m also happy to announce that we’ll have the gas pump open again for boaters The hardest decision this year was what to do with the Ice Cream Shop. Close your eyes and picture the last time you were in the shop I see mint green walls and can smell the cinnamon buns. I see families crowded in - some in their bathing suits and life jackets just as I used to do when I visited by boat as a kid - jostling to view the flavours of the day. I see tireless staff buzzing behind the counter and scooping as fast as their exhausted forearms can handle. I see a really happy scene. Now open your eyes and lay that vision beside COVID food service protocols. Yup, it just doesn’t work. So it is with heavy hearts that we say that the Ice Cream Shop will not open this summer. Instead, we’ll be thrilled to serve you delicious meals and treats in the main lodge until brighter days come and we can let the ice cream flow again. And flow it will. Let’s remember how far we’ve come already. It’s been a year that feels like a decade, but we’re tantalizingly close to the end. We’ll gather again, wander the garden again, and stare up at the trees again. We’ll share memories again, and we can’t wait to see you there.

Tonight’s delight!
