Welcome to the Federation of Ontario Cottagers' Associations (FOCA) website.
Ontario borders on 4 of the 5 Great Lakes, and is blessed with over 250,000 inland lakes that all need our care and attention. Since 1963, FOCA has played a key role in ensuring a healthy future for waterfront Ontario. FOCA developed this website to support your interests in a sustainable future for our precious freshwater lakes and rivers.
Don't miss FOCA's 2010 Annual General Meeting , March 6, 2010 at the York Reception Centre in Toronto.
We were pleased to meet so many supporters and interested cottagers at the November 2009 Fall Cottage Life Show in Toronto.
Some of the enhanced features you will find on this renewed site include:
FOCA is an incorporated non-profit organization serving as an information centre, providing assistance and leadership to Ontario's cottage associations and to our individual members.
For over 45 years, FOCA has been dedicated to supporting the interests of Ontario's cottagers. This is accomplished by assisting local member associations, and by representing the interests of waterfront property owners.
FOCA promotes sustainable waterfront communities by encouraging positive environmental stewardship, supporting strong community leadership, and through promoting fair and equitable public policy.
You can find more information about our interests and activities by visiting FOCA's Programs web pages.
Wishing you all the best for a safe and enjoyable winter at the lake and a great 2010!
Terry Rees, Executive Director
