The Manitoba Association of Cottage Owners Inc. is your voice with the Provincial Government on such issues as the environment, land use, recreational safety, lake use and lake levels, communication, administration of resort communities, government grants, property assessment and taxation.
Insurance – if you are an Executive member of your Association, have you ever thought about the possibility that you could be sued for whatever reason because you are on the Executive? Or, what if someone in your Association takes a tumble off the Association’s dock and sustains injury, injures themselves on Association play equipment, or becomes sick after an Association picnic or where food is available?
MACO has arranged with an Insurance Broker to cover these situations. MACO holds the umbrella policy that allows member Associations to purchase a policy. Your Association must be a member of MACO to get that price. This is the only insurance policy of its kind available for Cottage Associations in Canada.
You can also use MACO to help resolve local issues. MACO has the background and experience to offer advice and assistance. Board members have attended RM Meetings in support of member Associations to help with the resolution of local issues.
MACO is a non-profit volunteer organization with member from across the province. We have no source of funds other than those received from the member Associations, Individual and Associate members.
We look forward to continuing our work on your behalf for the betterment of all cottagers in Manitoba; however, if we do not receive your completed membership application/renewal form and cheque, we have no recourse but to remove your Association/Name from the list of MACO members.
Thank you
Membership Director
