Our Initiatives
Practical, volunteer-powered programs that keep our seven lakes safe, healthy and connected. Every one of them is funded by memberships and run by volunteers.
Private Hazard Buoys
Volunteer-maintained buoys mark submerged rocks, sandbars and no-wake zones across the lakes, deployed each spring and retrieved each fall.
Water Quality Monitoring
Nearly 30 years of volunteer sampling through Ontario’s Lake Partner Program — phosphorus, clarity and calcium on all seven lakes.
Get the Lead Out
Lead tackle kills the loons our lakes are known for. Trade in lead sinkers and jigs for a free custom lure at our tackle exchange.
Shoreline Naturalization
Working with Abbey Gardens to help owners re-naturalize their shorelines — the single best defence for water quality and habitat.
Monthly Newsletter
News, water conditions, events and lake science delivered to members every month since 2020.
Advocacy with FOCA
Through the Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations we add our voice on issues like dock and boathouse regulation, floating accommodations and lake planning.
