CPOA membership is open to eligible property owners (as identified in the CPOA Bylaws) and is renewed each year in the spring. Renewal notification is sent via email and/or postal mail and we encourage all residents of the Cawaja properties to pay the nominal $100 per residence/cottage association fee. As a CPOA member, you can participate in the annual general meeting as well as assist in the decision making and governance of the co-owned beach, roads and paths. You will also receive a valuable discount card for local retailers and service providers. The savings can easily offset the cost of the CPOA membership dues.
What does the CPOA do?
Every property owner benefits in some way from the existence of the CPOA! Some of the ways that the CPOA works to manage and improve its properties include:
- Annual Beach Clean-up in early spring as well as removal of litter after summer long weekends
- Cutting and maintenance of the Phragmites on the beach
- Obtaining Insurance coverage for CPOA property
- Paying Property Taxes assessed on the beach and other property
- Printing and Distribution of Newsletters
- Creating and posting Beach and Pathway Signage
Unfortunately, not every property owner joins the CPOA and that creates financial limitations on the efforts to preserve, maintain and improve all of the lands owned by the Association. If you are in the CPOA eligible community and are not currently a member, please consider joining by completing the CPOA Membership Form.
