Thank you Mother Nature for the required precipitation and to all of you who have acted responsibly in complying with the fire bans and continue to apply fire safety. 🙏
See Algonquin Park’s link below for safety info and tips. Be safe and have fun! 🔥

But it is always a good time to review fire safety. Remember: fire safety is everyone's responsibility!
-always use the designated fire pit
-fires cannot be more than 1 meter high
-never leave a fire unattended
-put a fire out before going to sleep

HAPPY 87th BIRTHDAY to Algonquin Park legend and our active Brent Store manager Jake Pigeon!!!

If you’ve visited the Algonquin Outfitters store at Brent on Cedar Lake in Algonquin Park in the last 47 years, you’ve likely run into Jake Pigeon. Jake has managed the Brent Store since almost then and is turning 87 years young today!

Few people in the business know more about Algonquin Park or are as proud to inform its visitors about canoe routes, camping and lake destinations based on his lifetime of experience. Jake and his family lived full-time at Cache Lake until he was 12 years old, and he has spent every summer since in the park.
He was hired by Rich’s dad and AO co-founder Bill Swift Sr. to manage the Brent store in 1980 due to his deep knowledge, history, and experience of growing up and tripping to almost every lake in the park!

On behalf of the Swift & AO family, our customers, Algonquin Park friends and business partners along the way, we wish our great friend and mentor the happiest of milestones today!

Read more about Jake’s history and story.

Please be aware and safe at your campsite during the fire ban and check the Algonquin Provincial Park link below to find out what is permitted for cooking and how to get creative to create a safe night time ambience.
Pack some LED string lights, glow sticks or wrap your LED headlamps in tissue paper under a pyramid of logs in the fire pit to create a fire-like ambience and a fun, glowing light source!
It’s less work than maintaining a fire and it gives you the perfect chance to clearly enjoy the stars!

We sell a wide variety of permitted fuel canister and liquid camp stoves (with on/off switches and lids), fuel canisters and accessories in store and online at:
