Langmaid's Protection Fund

As we have let you know previously, costs for this appeal will be covered by the LOBA/LBHF jointly-administered, Langmaid's Protection Fund. To date we have raised over $80,000 of the $100,000 we will need for the appeal. If you have not yet donated, please consider helping us reach our goal.

Once you are at the Donations page and click on DONATE NOW, you will be given the option to direct your donation to the Langmaid's Protection Fund.
Langmaid's Island
The Lake of Bays Association has made the proposed over-development of Langmaid’s Island a priority for over two years and we are in the final stages where your financial support is crucial. Please assist us in defending the municipal Official Plan policies that are in place to preserve one of the last natural, largely undeveloped islands left on Lake of Bays and donate today.
The Township of Lake of Bays is reviewing their Noise By-law and is seeking public input. A new draft by-law based on public input as well as a review of surrounding municipalities will be presented to Council in early 2021. Please let them know how you think the Noise By-law could be improved by taking their short survey at mylakeofbays.ca/noise. From there you can also review the existing by-law and see the Council Resolution directing staff to review the by-law.
THANK YOU ....
