West Lake Community Association

  • West Lake
    Community Association 

    For the residents of West Lake and communities situated along the shores of West Lake and within the West Lake Watershed.

    The Executive, Board and Members of the West Lake Community Association are grateful to be able to live, learn and work in this traditional indigenous territory of the Anishinaabe, Huron-Wendat and Haudenosaunee/Iroquois peoples.   These peoples agreed to sharing obligations and responsibilities as stewards of the land and water.  We respectfully recognize that these are our shared obligations in partnership to continue to protect the land and water, and we acknowledge all those who have come before us.

Our Mandate

The West Lake Community Association (WLCA) was formed to:

  • Promote interest, engage and encourage residents and visitors alike to help preserve the well-being and uniqueness of all the inhabitants of West Lake and the Wetlands. 
  • Address key issues that are of importance and concern to residents of West Lake, Sheba’s Island, Wesley Acres and other small communities situated around the shores of West Lake.
  • Act on the issues in a ‘unified community voice’.

The Association’s name was amended to West Lake Community Association (WLCA), which is so defined as being more inclusive of the smaller rural communities around West Lake’s shoreline, separate from the more densely populated Bloomfield and Wellington areas.

A Message from the Chair 
 
The West Lake Community Association (WLCA) was formed  in 2020 to promote interest, engage and encourage residents and visitors alike to help 
preserve the uniqueness of West Lake, Wetlands and Watershed.  The WLCA Board continues to advocate on behalf of  West Lake, Sheba's Island and surrounding area residents, farmers and businesses to help improve and maintain the safety and  well-being of all inhabitants of this environmentally sensitive area in beautiful  Prince Edward County. 

Please help us keep this special lake community safe and healthy for both humans 
and wildlife...slow down on our roads and be mindful of people riding their bicycles, walking and jogging.   This area is home to many different species of wildlife, and many are Endangered and At Risk.  It is also on a migratory route with a number of birds that over-winter in the West Lake Wetland.  Keep a look-out for the turtles that call this area home...they also want to safely traverse the roads.  Perhaps, one of the Endangered turtles may be attempting to lay her eggs along the side of the road!  

On behalf of the West Lake Community Association, I hope you enjoy your visit to our website!


Cheers,  Cathie
