About
The Oliphant Campers' Association held its first meeting at the Cross cottage on Cranberry Island in the summer of 1903, following the first known campers’ picnic the week earlier. It has been operating continuously since that time. It was formed to provide leadership in the following areas:
-
Welfare and protection of member properties
- Planning, operating and evaluating annual regattas providing timely, relevant information to members
- Reviewing issues which may pose a threat to members
- Acquiring, maintaining and storing trophies and equipment
- Supporting local dredging programs and providing leadership in this important aspect of Oliphant life including ensuring safe navigable channel passages.
- Facilitating and financially supporting the upkeep of the “government” dock.
The Name Oliphant
 |
The area of Oliphant is named after the government appointee, Laurence Oliphant. In 1854 the Oliphant Treaty was signed at Saugeen, allowing the government to survey the lands gained by the Manitowaning Treaty. |
Our Board Members
The OCA appoints an annual board from which officers and committee members are selected. Regular meetings are held four times per year and members are kept informed through a semi-annual newsletter.
