Thanks to our dedicated volunteers and resident, the Shannon Lake Neighbourhood Association (SLNA) is helping to make a positive difference in the neighbourhood.
We're thrilled to celebrate five years since the reestablishment of the SLNA! During this time the SLNA, with the help of residents, has been able to make a real impact in protecting and improving our community.
Our mission remains focused on:
promoting community engagement and
enhancing the quality of life in Shannon Lake
Achievement Highlights
Opposed Large-Scale Hotel & Spa (2021): Led a petition with nearly 1,000 signatures, successfully preserving neighbourhood character.
Improved Active Transportation (2023): Secured multi-use pathways, streetlights, and crosswalks along Shannon Lake Road for safer streets.
Fire Mitigation Advocacy (2024): Collaborated with residents and officials to implement fire prevention measures adjacent to Crystal Springs MHP.
Advocacy & Resident Support - The SLNA continued to champion important neighbourhood concerns:
