About Us
SINCE 1958
The Cumberland Beach & District Ratepayers Association was incorporated in 1958. In 1966, the land at Lakeside Dr. & Lee Ave. was purchased as a members-only park.
For over 60 years the community has supported the Association by paying dues, maintaining the land, sitting as board members, and taking care of the park.
As a not-for-profit corporation without share capital, the Association has members, not shareholders. The corporation exists “without the purpose of gain for its members”.
Annual dues are $25 per household. If you haven’t paid this year, please consider doing so. We need your help to ensure expenses are paid, including township taxes and liability insurance.
Some Cumberland Beach History
The Cumberland Beach & District Ratepayers Association Inc. has a rich history of community involvement and volunteerism, dating back to the 1950s.
Starting out as The Cumberland Beach Club, the Association was incorporated in 1958 with the intention “to advance the interests of the Cumberland Beach & District Community”.
The Corporation was to be carried on “without the purpose of gain for its members and any profits or other accretions to the Corporation shall be used in promoting its objects.”
In 1966, the opportunity to acquire what is now the Cumberland Beach Park became available. Once again the community rallied and the land was purchased.
Forward-thinking residents left a legacy for our community—a Corporation with the best interests of our community at its core, and our very own park with year-round waterfront access.
Will you stand with us today and help preserve this priceless legacy? It would be great if you would join us.
