CLCA - About Us
 

CLCA is your association that has the objective to focus on the interests of Crystal Lake cottagers – such as water quality, the environment, community events, liaison with other associations and the Township.

• We maintain the orange buoys to mark some of the rocks and shoals as well as maintain the flashing lights on Gull Island

• We have a lake Steward who takes water samples to have tested by MOE to monitor the water quality of the lake for clarity, phosphorus levels and invader species (i.e. zebra mussels)

• We maintain a website to keep cottagers informed

• We make donation(s) to our local volunteer organizations such as the Galway Fire Department

• We maintain membership with various associations to provide a united voice for Crystal Lake including:

   Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations (FOCA):
