Update on Subcommittee Recommendations

There was an important communication from a Subcommittee of the Board chaired by Reid McDougall and Pam Ross dealing with various issues relating to how we manage our affairs both as co-owners of the Lake Anne Club Inc. and in relation to the individual property owners.

[Because there is not control on access to this blog, the material has been removed. In future, information of any sensitivity will be emailed to property owners until our Lake Anne Web site is launched. That will be password protected.]

 Much has stayed the same at the Lake, yet some important changes are also occurring. The Lake remains the go-to place for the next generation to learn how to swim and for families to reunite. Even though many of you travel from afar, you still manage to come!

Some of the changes are internal, of note the increase in joint ownership. Other changes are externally driven, including more involvement from the municipalities in setting regulations and policies under planning legislation passed by the province. The value of land has risen significantly as developers serve the demands for cottage style life, resulting in a surge in property taxes on our buffer land, and reaction by municipalities to secure sufficient green space. As the Club's property spans five separate municipalities, this can be a challenge.

I invite you to stay engaged and informed on key issues. As well as directly consulting with you from time to time, we will be posting regular updates and information on the Lake Anne Blog at lakeannenews.blogspot.ca, created and edited by Kathy Hugessen. Your contributions to the Blog are also very welcome.
