FOCA
Welcome to the Federation of Ontario Cottagers' Associations (FOCA) website.
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.
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.
With the support of and on behalf of community groups and individual members from across Ontario we support your interests:
- Healthy and sustainable environments
- Fair property taxation
- Emergency services / rural crime / fire safety
- Safe boating
- Effective land use planning, and other related issues
