Lake Planning Tool Kit

The Lake  Planning Handbook for Community Groups is now available!

The Lake Planning Handbook was developed by the Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations in partnership with the Haliburton Highlands Stewardship Council and French Planning Services Inc. to assist shoreline people in both engaging and supporting the members of their community in strategic planning and stewardship initiatives. It is based upon the collective experience of over 40 lake associations across Ontario.

FOCA would like to thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation for providing a generous grant that has made the development of the handbook possible.

The Lake Planning Handbook helps waterfront property owners and associations in building the important relationships around their lakes, lake plan development and implementation, and responsible stewardship practices.

The handbook is a 65 page self help guide with advice, ideas, and question and answers about lake planning, project management, communications, and more. An electronic resource kit accompanies the handbook which contains example templates, lake plans, surveys, workshop agendas, presentations, and more.
