In the past, cottagers who subscribed to Cottage Life magazine, also received a FOCA update. This no longer happens. Instead there will be a one-page ad which promotes the FOCA website. It would be too costly for us to publish the news to you. Instead we will glean from their newsletter items we think may be of interest and will include them in the most recent newsletter. In order for you to remain current with the issues that FOCA is addressing, we suggest you visit their website, www.foca.on.ca. Individuals may also become members of FOCA and they can purchase subscriptions to the newsletter, published three times per year for $15 plus tax.
I have copied the Contents of the Winter 2002 Edition as well as contact numbers below. A binder containing FOCA Newsletters will be kept at our KLCOA display at the Marina restaurant. Feel free to browse but please do not remove the binder from the rack.
