FOCA Member Benefits and Offers
The Temagami Lakes Association is a member of the Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations (FOCA). As a result, TLA members has access to certain benefits, offers, and discounts.
“FOCA is the province-wide umbrella group for Ontario’s waterfront community – whether seasonal
or permanent residents. Our members are more than 525 lake, camp, cabin, residents, and road
associations across the province, representing a total of 50,000 member families.
Our united voice carries weight on issues that matter. Over the years, members have answered FOCA’s “calls-to-action” on important issues including: acid rain; voting rights for seasonal residents in municipal elections; the gradual phase-in of changes to property tax assessments (in a 4-year cycle); and the end of the seasonal rate-class for electricity pricing, that saved 84,000 affected seasonal families thousands of dollars, when the Ontario Energy Board agreed to phase-in changes over 10 years to limit bill impacts. FOCA also lobbied for seasonal owners’ rights to shelter at their waterfront residences during the pandemic (2020), and against increases to the capital-gains-tax inclusion rate (2024).”
