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.

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
- Informal summer evening get-togethers
- Golf Tournament
- And more – make a suggestion!
Enhancing the Village Appearance – we’re not in the prettiest town in Canada without some work!

- Garden work by volunteers in our parks and post boxes
