The Belmont Lake Cottagers' Association (BLCA) was established in 1956. It is a not-for-profit organization run by a volunteer Board of Directors that works with cottagers and permanent residents to:
Protect the lake environment.
Monitor and liaise with municipal and provincial governments on issues affecting our lake.
Guide members on issues affecting cottagers (taxation, water levels, services, etc.)
Organize recreational activities.
Promote and encourage a safe boating environment.
Lobby the organizations that regulate water levels, levy local taxes and provide services to property owners on Belmont Lake and associated waterways.
Tishan is the Chair and President for the BLCA. He is responsible for the BLCA website and various technology solutions they use. Tishan and his family have owned a cottage on the southwest shore of Belmont Lake since 2022. It has become their home away from home and you will find them on Belmont Lake through all four seasons.
Greg has been an active member of the BLCA Board of Directors for several years and has been the driving force behind the annual regatta which continues to be our most popular event.
