About WOLRA

Our Mission

WOLRA serves the residents of Wellington On The Lake by creating and maintaining a strong, vibrant community, neighbourhood and a safe and tranquil environment.

The Board of Directors will support active life style and social activities and will share responsibilities fairly among Board Directors and WOLRA members.

We will establish and maintain effective communications with the WOLRA membership, Sandbank Homes Inc, Frontier Management and Daimler Retirement Parks Ltd, and in so doing, will oversee the collective interests of the membership.

We acknowledge and respect the inherent rights of residents and we attribute to them their long standing efforts and initiatives to make Wellington On The Lake a great place to live and prosper.
