URLA has recruited representatives from each road or other geographic entity, such as Westport, around our lake. These representatives perform a number of functions: they maintain and share with URLA a database of their road’s residents’ names, addresses and other contact information; they identify new residents, welcome them to the community and give them a welcome package if information about the lake from URLA and add them to the database; they encourage all residents on their road to consider becoming members of URLA, often at their annual road association meeting. https://binged.it/2EdnLkw
Tools for URLA road associations
The URLA provides a free web presence to road associations whose board members are also members of the URLA. We do all the work – all you have to do is provide the data and pictures in a word or google docs format which will be pasted into your own web pages.
Your web pages can include a welcome page with links to other pages. Pages can be password protected so they are accessible only to members in good standing or to the board. (Passwords can be different for each page) You can post your constitution, AGM minutes, board minutes or a road directory
You can provide a web address to your members to directly access your web page. Your page can also be accessed from the URLA members road association page by clicking on the name of your road association. Click on the road association named “Template” to see what you can do.
The URLA maintains a database of all properties and residents. This web hosting service is free. We request that you provide up to date contact information for your residents.

In order to maintain contact with lake residents, URLA maintains a mailing list of addresses and/or emails of all those who live around the lake and updates it regularly through the information collected by road representatives. URLA guarantees that this information is kept confidential within the organization.
Newsletters are sent to all those on our contact list, whether members or not. However, we strongly encourage our contacts to become members. Road representatives are in a very good position to do this. URLA needs the active participation of lake users and residents in order to maintain relevancy and carry out its many activities.
A very important function of URLA, its unique database and road representative system is the maintenance of an infrastructure that is ready to immediately take on any issue that arises with respect to our lake. For example when it was revealed that Westport’s sewage treatment system was failing and effluent had been discharged into the lake, URLA was immediately ready to help tackle the situation and find a solution that preserved the health of our lake.
