BENEFITS OF your MEMBERSHIP

Whether it’s your first time standing on the front dock waiting to take your child to their swim lesson or years of memories of family and friends, Juniper Island is a place that many of us call our second home.

But the ASLC is more than summer programs. We work year-round to preserve Juniper Island’s history & heritage, and help keep Ston(e)y Lake healthy for future generations. And with your membership you also receive our ANNUAL ISLANDER MAGAZINE and ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY.

Some of what we do:

  • partner with various organizations to advocate on environmental issues affecting Ston(e)y Lake like Starry Stonewort, real estate development on the lake, and protecting our wetlands;

  • through our newsletter inform our members and followers about not only our programs but environmental issues, sustainable cottaging measures, and local events;

  • keep the Juniper Island Store up and running by selecting and mentoring its operators;

  • manage capital improvements to ensure that the Store is compliant with the health and safety regulations;

  • organize and pay for (with support from the SLYC) garbage collection and recycling;

  • monitor and minimize our environment footprint through initiatives like eliminating plastic bottles in 2019;

  • maintain and monitor the island’s washrooms;

  • run community events (in non-Covid years) like square dances, movies, children's masquerade, Wing Night, and more;

  • hire, schedule and manage programs like swimming, canoeing, yoga, and environment camps;

  • run the historic regatta and Mile Swim; and

  • maintain the library and museum.

Please join now as your membership and participation in the ASLC is critical to the future of our lake community.
