Our Objects

The objects of the Cottage Owners' Association are:

a) To work with officials of Prince Albert National Park, the Waskesiu Community Council and with cottage owners in relation to matters of common interest to Waskesiu cottage owners, including matters pertaining to the occupancy, use, rental, maintenance, leasing and/or improvement of such cottages and/or the areas in Prince Albert National Park where cottages are located;

b) To promote better understanding and co-operation among cottage owners and other users of Prince Albert National Park;

c) To provide a forum for the discussion and dissemination of information on matters of interest to cottage owners; and

d) To do such other things as may be incidental or conducive to the attainment of such objectives, and the exercise of the powers of our Association.

Together with many other organizations (including the Waskesiu Community Council, the Waskesiu Cabin Owners' Association, the Save our Spruce Committee ("SOS") and Concerned Park Supporters ("CPS")), the Cottage Owners' Association has for many years been actively addressing a variety of issues facing our membership, the community of Waskesiu and Prince Albert National Park.

Some of those issues include the deterioration of our Park's infrastructure, helping to shape a Vegetation Management Plan for our community, undertaking rent and property tax negotiations with Parks Canada Agency, taking steps to actively combat the Spruce Bud Worm infestation, trying to ensure that lake levels are maintained and that access to our lakes and other areas of the Park continues to be available for the general public.
