EMMA LAKE & CHRISTOPHER LAKES ASSOCIATION (ECLA)
P.O. Box 96 CHRISTOPHER LAKE, SK S0J 0N0

The ECLA works for and on behalf of our members throughout the year in a number of ways. 
ALL WORK IS DONE BY VOLUNTEERS (YOUR NEIGHBOURS AND FRIENDS). 

Please let Board members and your Beach Reps know what initiatives you think are important! 

New volunteers are always needed, and if you are interested in knowing how you can help please contact your Beach Representative, or any of the Executive and Committee Chairs as listed in the contact information section below.

Your annual dues of $10.00 are used to support the following initiatives.
