The Upper French River Cottagers' Association is a group of cottage owners dedicated to the communication, engagement and implementation of strategies for the conservation and stewardship of the French River and Lake Nipissing area. We will educate and promote community involvement to live in harmony with the French River and preserve this unique environment for generations to come.
Our Environmental Commitment
Climate change and chemical contamination pose the greatest risks to the quality of our natural resources. Our Environmental Committee is dedicated to monitoring water quality and the preservation of wild life, lands, and forests. We will work closely with the Dokis nation and other communities to promote the healthy recreational use of the French River and Lake Nipissing. UFRCA encourages ongoing clean-ups of waste that may be found on land or in water. UFRCA shares its information on water quality, wildfires, or other weather hazards and works to mobilize efforts to safeguard the natural beauty and health of the French River.
About UFRCA
Welcome To The Upper French River Cottagers' Association Website
The Upper French River lies between Lake Nipissing and the Chaudiere Dams at Dokis First Nation. It is part of the French River which flows from Lake Nipissing to Georgian Bay. The Upper French River is home to the citizens of Dokis First Nation, the summer residence of hundreds of cottagers and a vacation destination.
The French River is a historic First Nation and fur trade canoe route that contributed significantly to the opening and settlement of Western Canada. It is a Provincial Park and one of Canada's Heritage Rivers.
