About the Village Community Association (VCA)
Dear New Resident of the Village at Niagara-on-the-Lake
The Village Community Association (VCA) wishes to welcome you to “The Village” and encourages you to join the Association.
The goals of the VCA are three-fold:
Advocate on behalf of Village residents to the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake and other levels of government to bring resident concerns to the forefront.
- Issues such as parking, traffic control, lighting, and use of park land would be examples of work with the Town
Social activities are also always on the agenda. We organize numerous social events for members each year including:
- Christmas Party
- Themed parties
- Yearly garage sale
- Dog show – don’t laugh – it was a hit! (and raised many thousands of dollars for the local Humane Society!)
- Informal summer evening get-togethers
- And more – make a suggestion!
Enhancing the Village Appearance – we’re not in the prettiest town in Canada without some work!
- Christmas Decorations for the streets and parks in the Village are organized by members
- Garden work by volunteers in our parks
