By-laws and Rules

The NLPA’s by-laws outline how the association functions as an Ontario non-profit corporation. A copy of these by-laws is available in the Owner’s Content section of this website.

The following rules have been agreed-upon through the NLPA. They are protective measures which allow residents to rest assured that their neighbours, like themselves, value certain practices that enhance enjoyment and good stewardship of this unique property.

  1. No watercraft employing an internal combustion engine for propulsion is allowed on Nameless Lake.
  2. Each owner shall keep all lots and buildings owned by them, including the marine allowance between their lot and Nameless Lake and the land between their lot line and the gravel or paved portion of road surfaces, in good order and repair, as is consistent with good property management.
  3. The tank portion of every septic system shall be pumped out at the owners’ expense not less than once every five years for seasonal use property and not less than once every two years for year-round use property.
  4. No lot or part of a lot shall be used as a means of public access to the lakefront or the marine allowance around Nameless Lake. Each owner will ensure that any persons they knowingly allow to attend on their property adhere to all covenants, by-laws, rules and regulations. If an owner accepts compensation from one or more people in order to attend on their property, this owner will ensure that these paying guests do not access the NLPA common use areas.
  5. No owner shall allow any watercraft on Nameless Lake without first taking all reasonable precautions in accordance with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources’ recommendations to reduce the risk of infestation by zebra mussels.
  6. No live minnows or fish are to be introduced to Nameless Lake without a majority approval of the Association.
  7. No chainsaws, lawnmowers or heavy equipment can be used on the property during the period June 15th to September 15th in any year, except Monday to Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
  8. No open fires shall be allowed on the common use area except in receptacles and locations approved by the Association.
  9. No excess noise or music shall be generated that could be offensive to neighbours.
  10. No soap or detergent or detergent/soap-like substances shall be used in Nameless Lake.
  11. Nude bathing is not appropriate within the family environment that exists at Nameless Lake.
  12. Bed & Breakfasts, Air Bnb, or similar short-term rentals are not permitted on any lot.
  13. No hunting is permitted on the NLPA common use areas.
  14. When an owner negotiates the sale of their property, they will provide prospective buyers, lawyers and realtors with the appropriate information about ownership of property on Nameless Lake and membership in the Nameless Lake Preservation Association (see www.thenlpa.ca). Once an owner has agreed to transfer the deed for their property to a new owner, they will inform the Secretary of the NLPA of this change in ownership.
