Why join the TLA?

Promotion and protection of the “Tenets for Temagami” is one of the primary concerns of the Association.

To this end, the TLA monitors planning, legislation, and development applications within the Municipality of Temagami (e.g., the new “Official Plan”: 2024 to 2026) that may pose a threat to the “Tenets”, and utilizes the services of a professional planner. The Association monitors and provides advocacy regarding taxation and other municipal issues, as well.

Water-quality work is an important undertaking. Temagami Environmental Research and Stewardship (TERAS) – a charitable organization associated with the TLA – has taken on the role of completing annual water-testing at various sites on the Lake. This allows water-quality indicators to be measured, so that changes can be tracked over time.

We also provide a number of services in July and August (e.g., Wi-Fi, mail delivery, merchandise sale) at the TLA building

Other initiatives of the TLA over the years have included:
