BPOA Membership

If you are interested in joining with your neighbours in the BPOA,  click here for the membership application form. We welcome your input and ideas. Get involved in your community by joining today.

As a reminder of some of the things the BPOA focus on:

Road Safety is a Big Concern. We all use Birchview Road to walk, cycle and drive. The blind hills and blind corners are problematic. We need to continue to work with the Township to make Birchview Road safer for everyone.

Our Environment Needs Attention. We continue to focus on issues that affect our lake water.

Our Objectives are:

To monitor everything that may contribute to the continued health, pleasure, comfort and security of those living within the Association and to advocate for, sustain and enhance, the quality of life for property owners, residents and future generations.
