POLITICAL REPRESENTATION

The L.P.R.A. regularly meets with staff and elected officials from all levels of government to protect and put forth the concerns of our members.

COTTAGE WATCH

Cottage Watch, the cornerstone program funded by L.P.R.A. is designed to detect suspicious activity throughout the year.  Volunteers patrol on foot, by car, A.T.V., snowmobile and bicycle.  Patrollers are readily identifiable by their distinctive red/white clothing and yellow flags on ATV's/snowmobiles.  Incidents are immediately reported to the OPP for investigation.  L.P.R.A. members immediately receive a call from the OPP notifying them of any problems.  Non-L.P.R.A. property owners may not receive a call from the OPP for several days.

SPECIAL ISSUES

Over the past years the L.P.R.A. has been actively involved with the lakeshore planning issues, municipal assessments, lake levels and other specific issues affecting Long Point.
