Members are not permitted to rent, or offer to rent, any Lot for periods of less than six consecutive months.
[See By-Law Article Article 7.01 Members]

It is a condition of membership, that Lot owners:

• abide by the By-Law and pay all dues and fees levied against their Lot; and
• do not rent, or offer to rent, any Lot for periods of less than six consecutive months.

[See By-Law Article Article 7.01 Members]

A purchaser of a property becomes a Member when the selling Member transfers the title to their Lot to them. Upon closing of the purchase, the new Lot owner must register with the Association.
[See By-Law Article 7.05 Transfer of Membership]

You should confirm there are no dues, fees, penalties, interest or other charges (“Assessed Amounts”) owing by the selling Member. You will be jointly and severally liable with the transferring Member for payment of any outstanding Assessed Amounts.

You should confirm that all gate keys the selling Member has received have been returned to the Board seven days prior to the closing of the transfer. A penalty will be applied for non-return of keys.

The Board shall not be required to recognize the validity of any transfer of membership through sale of a Member’s Lot until all such Assessed Amounts have been paid.

The entirety of the Commonland is owned by the Corporation. Lot owners do not own any part of the Commonland, including those areas adjacent to any of the shorelines.
[See Schedule C - Commonland Management Policy - Founding Principle]

Members are granted access to the Commonland through “association” with the Corporation. Other individuals authorized to access and use the Commonland include the immediate family and guests of the Member.

Access to the Commonland is contingent upon a Member’s compliance with the permitted uses and restrictions in place.
[See Schedule C - Commonland Management Policy - Commonland Article 1]

The Commonland is to be left in its natural state. This precludes the cutting or removal of trees, plants and grass; the placing of fill of any kind; and the dumping or burning of garbage or brush. No fires are permitted on Commonland.

Property owners are prohibited from placing any personal property on the Commonland or encroaching on Commonland with permanent structures or excessive personal items.
[See Schedule C - Commonland Management Policy - Commonland Article 4]

Members are granted access to the waterfront through “association” with the Corporation. Other individuals authorized to access and use the waterfront include the immediate family and guests of the Member.

Members have access to three lakes (Sandy, Little Bald, Big Bald) via trails that run along the shorelines in several locations. Members are also provided access for their watercraft via two launch pads and three types of docks:

• Common Docks, for occasional use only by Members, their Immediate Family and Guests
• Private Docks (one space for each Lot owned)
• Finger Docks and Canoe Racks, if available, with rental fees paid annually.

New Members are not automatically allocated the Private Dock space or Finger Dock slip of the previous Lot owner. An application must be submitted to the Board. Members are not guaranteed a specific Private Dock space or Finger Dock slip.

Limits are in place for dock, ramp and platform sizes. Existing non-conforming docks are required to conform with current policy at the time the dock space is re-allocated.
[See Schedule C - Commonland Management Policy - Waterfronts]

Motorized recreational vehicles are strictly prohibited from Commonland except for the personal transportation from roadways to the Member’s allocated dock space via designated access points and sections of the trail. The trails are not to be used for thoroughfare recreational purposes.
[See Schedule C - Commonland Management Policy - Commonland, 4e]

Animal control regulations similar to those of the Municipality of Trent Lakes apply to the Commonland. Specifically:

• No owner of a dog shall permit it to run at large on Commonland; and
• Every owner of a dog shall ensure that it is on a physical leash and under control while the dog is on Commonland; and ensure that any waste left by such dog is immediately removed and disposed of in a proper manner.

[See Schedule C - Commonland Management Policy, Commonland, 4d]
