LIMERICK WATERWAYS RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION
LIMERICK WATERWAYS RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION (L.W.R.A.) is an association
of cottagers on Limerick, St Ola and other adjacent lakes, initiated
by the late John Parkins after interest in forming such an association
was expressed at a general meeting on August 1st 1971.
The association’s primary objectives are as follows:
(a) To promote and protect interests of property owners on Limerick
Lake and its connected waterways, and to foster co-operation with
Limerick Township, Hastings County and the Province of Ontario.
(b) To promote the mutual assistance of its members and to enhance
social relationships among its members and others.
(c) The Corporation shall be carried on without the purpose of gain
for its members and any profit or other accretions to the Corporation
shall be used in promoting its objectives.
In general, the Association is devoted to maintaining the environment,
water quality and cottage life which generations of cottagers have
enjoyed at Limerick, St. Ola and other lakes.
The Board of Directors comprises 15 members. To provide for continuity,
each Director serves a three-year term, with five Directors retiring
each year. Directors are eligible to be re-nominated and elected
for additional terms. Elections take place at a general business
