2023 Membership Donations
It’s getting towards the end of 2023, and we’re grateful for community members who have made membership donations and paid their watercraft storage fees. Unfortunately, the level of donations this year is at an 10-year low ! (only 30% of households have contributed in 2023 so far). Please make your 2023 membership donation if you haven’t already, and especially if you enjoyed using the wharf this year !
These funds go to paying for the necessary maintenance and improvements to our community wharf, such as: removal/replacement of the floats every fall/spring, liability insurance, materials for repairs and replacements, to clean-up the wharf hillside, etc. Everyone associated with the GWA is a volunteer, there are no paid positions or stipends.
Please see our Members menu for our current 2023 Membership donation roster, and pages to Join the GWA, make your membership donation and pay your Watercraft fees (if you store one at the wharf).
What is the GWA ?
The Granthams Wharf Association (GWA), established in 1968, is a registered Canadian charity with sole responsibility for maintaining the wharf and the surrounding area for use by members only. The association receives no government funding and instead relies on the financial contributions and volunteer labour of its members to keep this private wharf in good condition.
All Granthams residents – homeowners, long-term rental tenants, and seasonal residents – are invited to join the GWA and to use the wharf. All GWA Members are kindly asked to help maintain the wharf by making an annual donation of $50 per household, and to volunteer on work crews if and when possible.
Family and friends who are visiting a GWA member are also welcome to use the wharf. However, homeowners who host short-term rental guests should donate an additional $50 annually if any of those guests intend 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).
