CLPOA Renewal Tips and Upcoming Events
Dear Members
Welcome back to Clear Lake after a long cold winter….We have now pasted the official 1st year of our new website in operation, and have noticed a few challenges for some residents trying to renew their CLPOA membership.
As a reminder, the registration and membership payment process can only be done online and requires members to pay their annual fee using a credit card. Your membership lasts for a full year from the date of initial registration. Several email reminders to renew are sent to your email address on file prior to the membership expiration date and one after that date if not already renewed. You can renew before the actual expiry date and the system will extend your membership for a year from the original expiration date.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not accept cash, cheque or etransfers for registration or renewals. Sending us any of these types of payments bypasses our audit systems and DOES NOT activate your account. If and when our treasurer catches any of these, he is forced to contact you, write a personal cheque to refund you and then try to reconcile with our bank. This is obviously a very labor intensive process and as good as he is, could still result in us not recognizing the transaction.
TO NENEW, sign into your CLPOA account and go to the Member Area, open the Membership Details page, you can Renew or Upgrade. The difference is that Renew is for just 1 year, Upgrade tells the system to Renew Annually on the expiration date automatically….and therefore you do not need to worry about it ever again.
The only time renewals may fail is if you change your email address and have not updated you CLPOA account online OR you have received a new credit card where number or dates changes have occurred. If your credit card does change, you can update your Payment Method in your CLPOA account.
As a final reminder, we have 2 upcoming events in the next 5 weeks. The AGM is being held on July 5th with coffee, tea and goodies starting at 9:30 am and the MEMBERS ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT being held on July 25th with tee off at 8:30 sharp. Please note that members can only register their golf group and pay by credit card online by logging into your CLPOA account, going to the Members Annual Golf Tournament page and completing the RSVP form including credit card information.
We look forward to seeing you at the AGM and thank you for your continued support.

A Letter From Superior Propane
Dear Valued Members of the Clear Lake Property Association Members
We are reaching out to the members of your community as a result of some of the feedback we have received this winter season. We value the relationship we have built with your community, and we fully recognize the importance of reliable propane service.
We take your feedback seriously
Recent delivery challenges in the surrounding area have prevented us from meeting expectations in all cases, and I appreciate the opportunity to share the corrective actions we are taking to strengthen our service for your community.
Refining Forecasting and Planning
We are actively reviewing our processes to ensure we are better prepared moving forward. Our teams are already making adjustments to strengthen delivery planning, improve communication, and better manage periods of extreme demand. To better support the unique usage patterns in your area, we have updated our forecasting and routing models to continuously improve upon reflections of seasonal behaviour, generator usage, and travel conditions. This means our objective is to deliver when your tank is at approximately 20%. These refinements are intended to improve reliability during peak winter conditions.
Capacity and Reliability Enhancements
We are planning to review tank sizes in the spring to identify where adjustments could help reduce winter delivery risk. This means that we will review opportunities to adjust and right-size tanks as needed in advance of next season.

A Septic Company Application Near Our Lake
Email Letter sent to the Mayor, Town Cleark and all Council members on Tuesday October 14th, 2025 at 9:26 AM by Ken Core, President Clear Lake Property Owners Association
“First of all, I would like to thank Council for deferring the Holding provision vote at last meeting for further thought. I wanted to give you a little history about the Clear Lake Property Owners Association for those who don’t really know what we accomplish or what we have concerns for. Our main goal is to preserve the waters of Clear Lake for many generations to come. We have a very active board that works very diligently on this very topic starting with water testing that is completed four times a year in different areas of the lake. If we feel we have a problem starting, we test further and try and get to the root of the problem. We also test for clarity and compare these year after year. We have an ongoing septic testing initiative that has been running for the past 6 years this has led to new septics around the Lake that had been leaching into the waters that are now not. We also monitor the level to maintain a good wake buffer at shoreline to prevent erosion and phosphorus and/or nitrogen from washing into the waters. We do this naturally with the control of beaver activity. Town Council should be proud of our Association as we have the best water quality ever in many decades making Clear Lake second to none in Perry Township and the place people come to for water quality. As a board we took on the Ministry to overturn permitting for septic trenches on this very property which should have never been approved in the first place with back door initiatives. We feel the very same about the current vote in that this will lead to illegal practices down the road and become a detriment to the quality of life for Clear Lake and surrounding residents. Who will monitor this? Who will take responsibility? This is no place for Industrial use with the additional truck traffic, washing of Septic equipment and who knows what else down the road. We ask you to give this much consideration about the implications that may arise. This is NOT a simple normal rezoning like several residential properties around the Lake have had. Please vote NO for 5.1 and 5.2 on the agenda October 15th.”
Members of the Lake Association and the Board met with Council on October 2 to present their concerns about the application to develop lands at the corner of Bay Lake Road and Highway 592 across from Winning Techniques. The application in question can be found here.
If you wish to attend the vote, the meeting will be held Oct 15th at 7:00 PM in the Perry Township Building. Optionally you can join the council’s zoom call at;
