Chronic Illness Support Group to meet next month

Some in Canyon Lake suffer from chronic illnesses and many of them suffer without members of the community even being aware.

The Chronic Illness Support Group is holding its next meeting on Feb. 6 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. in the Magnolia Room at the Canyon Lake Country Club.

The group is open to anyone who has a chronic medical condition or illness. Caretakers are also welcome.

“The meetings are safe, positive, supportive, informative, and encouraging,” Steven Prince said. “Confidentiality is always of the utmost importance. No one understands a chronic illness except others with a chronic illness.”

Meetings are free and open to all ages.

For more information on the Chronic Illness Support Group, contact Steven at 949-293-2919 or stop by the Magnolia Room on Feb. 6.

Woman’s Club returns to the runway with Putting on the Glitz

The Canyon Lake Woman’s Club is returning to the runway with the 2023 Putting on the Glitz Fashion Show to be held on April 28.

POA seeking help with security camera footage

The Canyon Lake Property Owners Association is asking its members to volunteer to share home security camera footage when a criminal incident occurs near their home.

In partnership with the Riverside County Sheriff‘s Department, this program allows community residents with surveillance systems to voluntarily add themselves to a list that the Riverside County Sheriff‘s Department and the Canyon Lake POA may refer to if a criminal incident occurred nearby.

With the increased popularity of personal surveillance systems, including simple doorbell cameras, for residents and property owners, the use of the footage from these cameras has become useful to law enforcement. As crimes occur near a home with security cameras, owners may not be aware that their system may have captured helpful information that could help solve the crime.

After signing up on the Canyon Lake POA website for this program, when these criminal incidents occur, the Canyon Lake POA and/or law enforcement may contact those on the sign up list near the incident to help solve the crime by requesting to review their video footage their system may have captured. This information or footage may assist in apprehending and prosecuting the criminals involved.

Members would only be contacted by the Canyon Lake POA or law enforcement to request permission to view your camera footage if there is a criminal incident near their home.

“You are not giving the Canyon Lake POA or law enforcement access to your system or footage, but instead agreeing to be contacted if you have a camera that may have been in the vicinity of a criminal incident,” the Canyon Lake POA said. “Your participation in providing any camera footage is strictly voluntary. Information provided to the Canyon Lake POA regarding your camera systems will be for official use only. Your personal information will remain confidential and will not be distributed.’

Video surveillance is one of the best methods for apprehending criminals and convicting suspects caught in the act of committing a crime, the Canyon Lake POA said. While many own and operate personal surveillance systems that could aid in solving crimes, law enforcement officials are not always aware of who may have this potentially vital information.

By signing up for this program, residents are added to a list that may be quickly referenced to identify nearby cameras that may have captured criminal activity.8
