What We Do
SLCOA The Skiff Lake Cottage Owners Association is made up of volunteers who oversee and maintain stewardship of the lake and it's residents. It is an incorporated body and has been in existence for a number of years. Some of the activities are the following:
-
Arrange and work with providers for garbage collection. Currently there is one dumpster ( Off Owls Nest Road along LaCoute Drive) and weekly pickup on Route 122 (Mondays before 11:00)
-
The Owners Association worked closely with the Canterbury Fire Department and EMS services in providing 911 signage in the event of any emergencies. This included identifying cottage owners, renaming lanes and access points.
-
The Association has lobbied extensively to the Province of New Brunswick Government and Natural Resources Ministers in efforts to restrict the timber of Crown Land that runs along the east side of the lake. Allowing such a harvest would have a devastating effect on the ecology of the lake and the natural habitation of many forest animals. While this piece of land is safe for now, it's future is still uncertain.
-
The Association ensures safe water quality by having the lake tested throughout the summer.
This is your lake!
We all need to help and preserve!
