Long Lake, Bala, Cottagers Association @ 1980

As times changed, people moved on, the families bought or sold. Some property was divided up amongst siblings, as farmers partitioning off land for their kids.
I posted the 1968 list yesterday. I think this is the same map used for the 1980 census of cottage owners.

The next map viewable close up by clicking on it. Highway #169 runs from the lower left corner of the map (up from Gravenhurst) NW to the upper left corner, heading into Bala.


Uncle Doug, as I called Doug Flett, was an organizer. He prepared a map, with numbers assigned to each property.

Some wisely bought a couple of lots, others more than one, knowing the kids were growing and this would be a growing town.

Herb Farlie bought a number of lots and built a successful motel/cottage rental, and a nursery.

You can see many names of people long gone, others have kept their cottages/homes in the family name. Quite a challenge with today's economy, and the need for many to travel to find work.

The map I have photographed, as our scanner is too small to accommodate it. Uncle Doug did a fine job collecting names! My mother, who worked as an office secretary for Rotary Club of Toronto for 30+ years, typed up the list.


This is the list of cottagers who joined the Cottagers Association on Long Lake (1980).
