(Gananoque, July 13, 2024) The Thousand Islands Association has been protecting residents of the Thousand Islands for 90 years with shoal markers and other projects. An international organization, they will be holding their AGM and popular shore breakfast on Saturday July 20 with registration at 8 a.m. and breakfast starting at 8:30.

“The Thousand Islands Association (TIA) is excited to announce that it’s time to buy your tickets for the Shoreline Breakfast and AGM,” said the association in a recent press release. “TIA’s social event of the year is happening once again along the banks of the St. Lawrence River at the 1,000 Islands Playhouse.”

Pre-payment for breakfast is required with adults at $15.99 and children under 10 at $8.99.

“The morning will be filled with food, community, live music from Tim Hallman, prizes, and our featured speaker, Scott MacCrimmon, President of Hucks Marine & Resort,” said TIA. “With 40 plus years of experience and a passion for boating, Scott is a recognized leader in the boating industry. TIA is filled with excitement to hear Scott’s talk on ‘The Evolution of Boating – Past, Present & Future.’”

TIA is a non-profit organization that has been heavily involved in all things related to the St. Lawrence River and the Thousand Islands since 1934. They have addressed safety on the river, promoted environmental preservation and supported the interests of the community for the benefit of the islands and the river. They are actively engaged in initiatives like the Trash Free River Clean-up event and operates Fishing Line Recycling Stations, aiming to reduce river pollution and mitigate its environmental impact. For years they were responsible for all of the shoal markers in the area on both the Canadian and American sides, providing the markers as well as setting them out. All money that they have raised has gone right back into the area.

“This event is a great way for people of all ages to connect and celebrate the Thousand Islands region and 90 years of TIA on the River,” said TIA.
