The Sublime and Mysterious Order of Cock-eyed Loons celebrates members of the LWCA who have contributed in various ways to lake life and conservation efforts. Each year new members are welcomed to the "order" at the AGM where they must perform the dance of the loon. Started at a party on Walker Island in 1924, it has been rejuvenated several times over the years and continues today.

Our annual AGM is a great day packed with information, activities, opportunities to meet other cottagers and lunch! It is typically held on a Saturday morning early in August.
Other activities that we support include the Maker's Market at Weslemkoon Marina, a lake wide 'dock sale', and the Labour Day Treasure Hunt at Tanglewood Marina. We'd love to see a Sailing Regatta run again - anyone interested in organizing?
