2024 News
- May 7: The floats are back in place! And the sun is shining (most of the time) !!
- Thanks to the crew for replacing the floats from their winter storage in the park: Mary, Bruno, Betty, Janet, Adrian, Randy, Al, Kelly, and Tony !
- And special thanks to Adrian and Bruno for welding, painting, and installing the new steel braces on the overhead gate at the end of the pier, so we can now lift/lower the ramp every fall/spring without pulling the wharf apart !!
- GWA members didn’t waste any time making use of the floats this season, some folks started swimming the very next day.

What is the GWA ?
The Granthams Wharf Association (GWA), established in 1968, is a registered Canadian charity with the sole responsibility of maintaining the wharf and the surrounding area for use by the Community.
The association receives no government funding and instead relies on the financial contributions and volunteer labour of its members to keep this community wharf in good condition. All Granthams residents – homeowners, long-term rental tenants, and seasonal residents – are invited to join the GWA and help maintain the wharf by making an annual donation of $50 per household, and to volunteer on work crews if and when possible.
Notes re Wharf Access:
- Family and friends who are visiting a GWA member are also welcome to use the wharf.
- Homeowners who host short-term rental guests should donate an additional $50 annually if any of those guests intend to use the wharf.
- Any other persons living outside of Granthams must become GWA Members and be current with their annual donation in order to use the wharf.
GWA members may also store canoes, kayaks, surfboards, paddleboards, tenders and small inflatables on the boat rack, on the hillside or at the dinghy dock for an additional $50 per watercraft.
For additional information, visit the various pages on this website (using the menu at the top).
