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

  • Strive to promote stewardship of the land and water resources in such a way that meets the watershed, and the communities’ needs in a sustainable and healthy way.
  • Address key issues that are of importance and concern to residents living in the communities along the shores of West Lake, and within the watershed.
  • Act on the issues in a ‘unified community voice’.
  • Provide environmental activities and events.

The Association’s name was amended to West Lake Community Association (WLCA), which is so defined as being more inclusive of the small communities around the West Lake, and within the West Lake Watershed.

A Message from the Chair 
 
The not-for-profit West Lake Community Association (WLCA)  was initially formed to promote interest, engage and encourage residents and visitors alike to help preserve the uniqueness of West Lake and the Wetlands. We have since expanded to include the West Lake Watershed.  Through its educational activities and providing other resources, the WLCA continues its initiatives to maintain the health, safety and well-being of all who live, work and vacation in this environmentally sensitive area of the County.

Please help us keep this extraordinary rural area safe and healthy for both human and wildlife inhabitants!  SLOW DOWN on our roads, and be mindful of people riding their bicycles, walking and jogging…and the wildlife that may be attempting to traverse the road or perhaps one of the Endangered Turtles laying her eggs along the side of the road!

Cheers,
Cathie
