Membership to the Lake Chaparral Residents Association Ltd. is a mandatory membership for those living within Lake Chaparral, registered as a legal encumbrance on the property land title.
If you are a property owner and would like to provide access for any tenants renting the property, please click here for more information.
An active LCRA member in good standing (fees paid, no incidents on record) is entitled to the following:
- Access to the facility, lake, and park during operating hours
- Free equipment rental (sports equipment, boats, etc.) in accordance with existing rules
- Reduced rates for Function Room bookings
- Ability to book the Cookshacks and Large Group Bookings (not available to non-members)
- Free admission to all LCRA-hosted events
Land Titles & Membership
Once you have taken possession of your new home and received your land title, you may apply for your LCRA membership(s).
Please note: LCRA memberships, including physical membership cards and access to the facility, will not be provided without a copy of the property land title. Any outstanding fees MUST be paid in full before the LCRA membership application can be submitted.
To apply for a membership, all applicants must:
- Apply in-person at the LCRA Office (located at 225 Chaparral Drive SE), no appointment required.
- If unable to attend in person, please email [email protected].
- Be the land title holder of a qualifying Lake Chaparral address.
- Provide a copy of the land title, proving the showing the property owner and encumbrance, to the LCRA Office.
- If there are significant delays with processing at the Alberta Land Titles Office, please contact our staff. Current processing times can be viewed here.
- Provide the names of all residents living at the property; all residents listed must reside at the title address.
- To receive membership cards, each member/resident must show valid government-issued photo ID, which lists the title address as their address of residence.
- Have their photo taken, to be added to their account and used to print membership cards.
Payment of a one-time $100 New Homeowner Setup fee must also be made to secure membership. This covers the following items:
- Staff labour for creating new homeowner profiles, including land title paperwork processing
- First issuance of membership cards
- All required internal materials and printing
This fee also covers any fees associated with the transfer of account privileges (i.e., when a homeowner transfers their lake privileges to a renter), as well as any hypothetical additional member fees for people living at the address in addition to the primary land title holders. These items are charged by some other lakes/Residents Associations – ours is included in this fee.
Membership Fees
Membership fees must be paid annually and are subject to increase yearly based on the prior calendar year’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Alberta, as detailed by Statistics Canada. The due date to pay these fees is typically July 1st of each year; typically, the fees for the upcoming year will be released by the LCRA via email in May or June.
Fees can be paid either online (via credit card) or in-person at the LCRA Office via debit, cheque, or exact cash.
