Membership and payment
mandatory
Check the property, not just the neighbourhood.
No individual title, account balance or household access is certified here. A maintenance boundary, nearby amenity or condo fee does not settle those questions.

Fees, classes & context.
2026
Published amount recorded| Property / fee class | Amount | Tax & applicability |
|---|---|---|
| Annual homeowner dues | $1,150.00 | Tax not confirmed |
Published deadline / period: Within 60 days after AGM approval
FAQ identifies March 12, 2026 AGM. Tax treatment and overdue rate are not stated in the reviewed fee pages; confirm invoice.
Original field review: Sep 6, 2026. Recheck for later notices.
02 / THE PROPERTY CONTEXT
Which properties and households participate?
Title-linked obligation
yes
Property coverage
Match the property to its phase covenant and confirm Lika Lake rights independently. No legal parcel boundary is verified here.
Members, household family and accompanied guests
Guests remain accompanied; residents carry identification bracelets. Paid access is not offered to outside households.
Lika Lake lakefront owners
Fourth-lake rights are restricted to directly adjoining lots; general CRHA membership does not establish entitlement.
Owner-designated tenant
Rule 1(g)(iv) includes an owner-designated tenant. The posted bylaw compilation, clause 2.01(c), describes tenant membership instead of the owner. Confirm registration, later amendments and any landlord privileges with the board.
03 / THE PROPERTY CONTEXT
What the association does
Services and assets
Supports lake systems, docks, beaches, trails, weed and mosquito work, and security patrols.
04 / THE PROPERTY CONTEXT
Amenities and access
Alexa, Cody and Cheyanne lakes
Community-private lakes; the website’s occasional public-lakes wording does not mean general-public access.
Beaches, docks and watercraft racks
Access: member only with guests. Fee funding: reported.
Common-land trails
Access: member only with guests. Fee funding: reported.
05 / THE PROPERTY CONTEXT
Rules and responsibilities
One designated member is different from household access
The posted 2005 compilation describes one member per residential property, joint-owner designation and a resident nominee for corporate owners. Clause 2.05 gives members a vote; Family Members have amenity use under the rules but no separate vote. Confirm the current register and later amendments.
Suspension does not cancel the amount owed
Clauses 2.06–2.08 in the posted compilation address suspended amenity/voting rights for non-payment and continuing fee obligations. They do not establish the current invoice, interest rate or account balance.
Covenant deviations require a separate application
The posted process asks for the phase, legal parcel, relevant covenant clause, reasons, drawings and feedback from adjacent neighbours. Board review may require more information or meeting attendance. The form states a written response within 60 days; confirm current timing. Neighbour feedback alone is not approval, and County compliance remains separate.
Obtain approval before property work
Submit plans for association review, notify affected neighbours and obtain County permits where required. The stated one-to-two-week review is not a guaranteed approval; covenant deviations have a separate process.
Use the correct phase covenant
The document library identifies the lots, block and plan named in each of the five original instruments. Match all three to the current title, then check amendments and approved deviations. A street address or neighbourhood outline cannot establish the applicable terms.
SourcesPhase 1 restrictive covenant — Lots 1–34, Block 1, Plan 9411421Phase 2 restrictive covenant — Lots 1–54, Block 2, Plan 9511789Phase 3 restrictive covenant — Lots 1–58, Block 3, Plan 9810168Phase 4 restrictive covenant — Lots 1–27, Block 4, Plan 9910556Phase 5 restrictive covenant — Lots 28–51, Block 5, Plan 0010537
Phase 5: Lot 51 has specific covenant exceptions
Clause 33 excludes Lot 51, Block 5, Plan 0010537 from clauses 7, 12, 14, 17–20, 22 and 28. These concern pets, dwelling requirements, the building envelope, height, exterior finishes, utilities and vegetation. This clause does not establish an exemption from HOA dues or a different lake membership. Confirm the current registered terms for that lot.
Phase 4 names a public pathway on Lots 17–27
Clause 31(iii) includes maintenance of a public pathway located on Lots 17–27, Block 4, Plan 9910556. The scan does not provide a surveyed route or establish general-public access to the private lakes. Obtain the current plan and any easement before interpreting its location or access rights.
Fence height alone does not establish approval
The original phase instruments cap fences at six feet and also require written approval of their design and location. They restrict vegetation removal outside the eligible building envelope; Phase 5 Lot 51 is excepted from that vegetation clause. Check the property's instrument, approvals and later amendments before fencing or clearing.
SourcesPhase 1 restrictive covenant — Lots 1–34, Block 1, Plan 9411421Phase 2 restrictive covenant — Lots 1–54, Block 2, Plan 9511789Phase 3 restrictive covenant — Lots 1–58, Block 3, Plan 9810168Phase 4 restrictive covenant — Lots 1–27, Block 4, Plan 9910556Phase 5 restrictive covenant — Lots 28–51, Block 5, Plan 0010537
Check roofing restrictions before replacement
The original instruments prohibit asphalt shingles and specify roof materials, with approval provisions for alternatives or waivers. Phase 5 Lot 51 is excepted from the roofing clause. These historical terms do not resolve a property's current approval history; obtain the applicable covenant and written approval before selecting materials.
SourcesPhase 1 restrictive covenant — Lots 1–34, Block 1, Plan 9411421Phase 2 restrictive covenant — Lots 1–54, Block 2, Plan 9511789Phase 3 restrictive covenant — Lots 1–58, Block 3, Plan 9810168Phase 4 restrictive covenant — Lots 1–27, Block 4, Plan 9910556Phase 5 restrictive covenant — Lots 28–51, Block 5, Plan 0010537
County involvement differs between phase documents
Phase 3 clause 32 requires express written County permission to alter or delete clauses 27, 29–32. Phases 4 and 5 instead specify prior County notification for those clauses. Do not substitute one phase's procedure for another or treat this summary as confirmation that an alteration is authorized today.
Watercraft limits
Rules exclude powered boats, sailboats and windsurfers; permitted craft must be cleaned before launch. Check rack limits and current notices.
Check swimming notices and supervision
No lifeguards are provided; posted swimming closures apply. Winter lake use is not monitored by the board.
Control dogs and respect swimming areas
Leash dogs when approaching others. During swimming season, keep them off beaches, docks and immediate swim areas.
Read species-specific fishing rules
Barbless hooks and no live bait; trout are catch-and-release unless posted otherwise. Check current species instructions before fishing.
Arrange mobility-device access
The Blue Flag program requires advance board approval for mobility-device park access. Request the current application process.

What is separate or excluded
