The office will issue the 2026 maintenance fee invoices by email on or before December 1st, 2025. Those members who have not registered or updated their email address with the office will not receive an invoice however are still required to pay their fees by the due date, otherwise a late payment penalty will be assessed. It is your responsibility to make sure the office has current delivery information.

Those members who do not use digital delivery such as email will continue to receive their invoice by regular mail. If you have an email address, we encourage you to register it with us. If the current interruption of mail delivery due to the strike becomes prolonged, this does not create an exception for the delivery of a mailed invoice or payment.

If you have not received an invoice by mid-December, you need to contact the office.

All members should be aware that fees are due and payable by January 1st and that the office is not responsible non-delivery of an invoice, either digital or by regular mail. 

The Board has determined that aligning annual fee increases with the rate of inflation is preferable over a fee increase every 5 years. For 2026, the fee will increase by 3%, rounded to $9.00 for a total of $314.00 plus GST = $329.70. The Board of Directors review the costs of operations, capital improvements and major maintenance needs on a continual basis to determine anticipated funding needs and reserve contributions used for asset replacements and improvements. Looking forward, we can expect annual fee adjustments of 3% to cover operating costs and to maintain a reasonable reserve fund balance. 

1. If you are wanting to bring a large group into the lake (ie larger than the 10 per household walk up limit). The request must be submitted for approval a minimum of 72 hours in advance of your event. The request can be made by email to office@midnaporelake.ca. It is beneficial if it is accompanied by your guest list (first and last names of all your guests). It is helpful if guest lists are in alphabetical order. 

2. Registrations and card replacements are done by appointment. This allows us to have everything ready and means you are very quickly in and out of the office. It also means we do not have multiple people showing up at once.  

3. If you are bringing your own boat/paddleboard to the lake, please ensure that the boat is clean of all debris. Also, if you bring your own boat, you must bring and wear your own life jacket. 

Rules and regulations are available at the office and you can always call the office with any questions. 403-256-0550

New member registrations are by appointment only.

New residents, please see the residents tab on the website and print off the documents required for registration. Please call the office at 403-256-0550 during office hours (Monday to Friday from 9 - 4:30) to book an appointment to get your lake access card.

Welcome to Midnapore!!

With the warmer weather approaching, it will not be long before our courts become busy with Pickleball and Tennis. We are seeing growing interest in Tennis however the interest and participation in Pickleball has grown exponentially which, in past years has created a greater demand for court time. Last year we converted one tennis court to four dedicated Pickleball courts and the remaining three tennis courts remained flex courts allowing for either Tennis or Pickleball play. Already this year, we have been approached by more members seeking to reserve court times as well as invite non-members.

This year, we sense there will be heightened demand and the courts will be in use practically every day. Our desire is that these courts should remain available on a first come basis and that they should be accessible to all members. Our sister lake associations are experiencing similar challenges, trying to provide their members the opportunity to enjoy their courts. With this in mind, perhaps we need to review existing, as well as develop new rules for court use which might include limiting guest access. I am inviting members, especially those who use the courts to submit their suggestions and input by sending an email to comments@midnaporelake.ca.

Larger groups can be requested with a minimum of 72 hours advanced notice.

Thank you for your understanding.
