Responding to population growth, GLARA was created in 1993 as an opportunity for local voices to be represented regarding the community and ecological health of the Green lake area.  GLARA has grown to be recognized by local governments and the membership for enhancing advocacy and education.  GLARA is nonpartisan and partners with the government of the day on providing input to such important features as the function of Transfer Stations, monitoring lake health through the vital work of water sampling and testing, wild fire interface safety, through to assisting the processes for policies to formalize a long-term vision for sustaining what is important to the area through landuse planning. Residents are kept up to date on the GLARA files through two to three newsletters a year.  Suggestions and concerns are communicated directly to the GLARA executive or at the more localized level by getting to know the GLARA Director living in your part of the lake area.  All questions and suggestions are welcomed.  GLARA is your organization. Let us know what you want to see, or be involved in within your community of Watch Lake, Green Lake or 70 Mile House. Share your ideas or contribute your suggestions and get involved.
