Seguin Sled Dog Mail Run
will take place on February 25th 2023.

Invite only for RNB

https://www.seguin.ca/en/explore-play/Seguin-Sled-Dog-Mail-Run.aspx

The Seguin Sled Dog Mail Run has been running for 38 years. Every year since 1985, "sledvelopes" with letters prepared especially for this event, are gathered, loaded onto sleds and hauled by several dog teams to Rosseau, Ontario, 17 km through the bush on groomed trails.

Teams gather and leave from the Village of Humphrey, Ontario, on Highway 141, to the cheers and good wishes from the many spectators and friends as the teams disappear in the bush on their way to Rosseau to be received by the Postmaster.

The "sledvelopes" are hand stamped, a very old method of cancelling mail. These "sledvelopes" have become collector items all over the world. What a wonderful surprise for a child, or even adult, to receive mail which has traveled by dogsled, pulled by eager Siberian Huskies!

To order your own "sledvelopes" please contact Kara through the official Seguin Sled Dog Mail Run link above.

Our group will be the only campers in the group camp area that weekend. The rustic group campers will only have access to a drop tube privy (outhouse), there is no water available in group camping area at this time of year.

Campers can fill water containers/trailers at the Admin Building – blue water tap to the left of the building. This water is potable municipal water source.

There will be firewood for sale at the Permit Office during our operating hours, 9am – 7pm Friday and 9am – 4pm on Saturday/Sunday. SSASO will pre-purchase a supply of wood to use on account of the limited permit office hours.

There are 6 large sites suitable for RVs and larger groups to the right, with a fire pit/social area in the middle, and 6 smaller tent-sized sites across the road to the left with a fire pit/social area & large parking lot. Trailers are able to be parked in the parking lot as long as dogs aren't bothersome.

We will try our best to accommodate all who wish to camp but space is limited. We will operate a waitlist if there is enough demand.

Booking fee is non-refundable unless we have a waitlist and are able to fill your place.

ATTENTION CAMPERS: Please leave campsite in same condition you found them in. The Rustic Group campsite is normally closed at this time of year and if the sites are left in poor condition, we will lose the use of them.

All campers agree to comply by park rules.

It is absolutely forbidden to do any type of training while on MacGregor Park premises. Dogs should not even be hooked up. Anyone participating in any kind of training will be asked to leave and likely cost SSASO the opportunity to camp for future events. Any other repercussions are at the discretion of the park wardens.
