IMPORTANT NOTICES
Happy New Year Members,
You should have received an update on the parking taskforce. Check your junk mail! If not, please contact Lynn at lynnmbrennan@gmail.com
2023 UPDATE REGARDING THE SALE OF PARKING / DOCK PERMITS AT INDIAN NARROWS & BENNET LANDING
The Lake WahWashKesh Conservation Association will no longer be selling parking or dock permits.
All related parking permits and fees will be set by the Municipality of Whitestone and sold online through an application. Alternatively, drivers will be able to call the Municipal Office to register their parking pass requirements.
More details regarding the exact process and timelines will be provided ahead of the spring cottage reopening season. Until then, please do not submit any payments for parking or dock permits to the Lake WahWashKesh Conservation Association.

By signing the petition, you are requesting that the council for the Municipality of Whitestone refrain from approving this current subdivision proposal as is, also that future subdivision developments are not considered until the official plan has been reviewed and updated.

The Membership Taskforce will advise about the 2023 Parking Permit system – stay tuned.

All residents and public at large, that use the docks, are strongly encouraged to purchase their membership, parking, lake access, and trailer parking permits to help support the Association. Your fees pay for dock purchases, upgrades, spring and fall maintenance and the cost of placing and removing the dam boom.
The Association also has yearly costs that benefit us all, such as the Hobo Monitoring, Water Quality Testing and participation in the Lake Partner Program, website, newsletter and bursaries.
