South Beach, Gimli, Manitoba is a historically unique cottage area on shores of Lake Winnipeg. South Beach is located in the Rural Municipality of Gimli, Manitoba, Canada on the western shore of the eleventh largest freshwater lake in the world. South Beach Property Owners Association (SBPOA) catchment area is bounded on the east by Lake Winnipeg, south by Moonlight Bay, west by PTH 9, and north by Colville Drive.
South Beach Property Owners Association (SBPOA)
Our Mandate
The South Beach Property Owners Association (SBPOA) is dedicated to improving the lives and the well being of its residents by fostering neighbourhood pride and representing their concerns to government and the local community at large.
Our Vision
SBPOA wants to develop a safe, quiet, and beautiful environment for its residents where they can live, play and work in a vacation-like setting.
Our Goal
To help foster the growth of South Beach into a modern environmentally-friendly cottage neighbourhood that values outdoor activities, pedestrian walkways, and encourages local input from its residents.
Membership
- Membership is open to property owners and household members who are 18 years of age or older who have civic addresses which lie within the catchment area above.
- Each household with a paid membership is allowed one vote.
- Memberships are $10 and run from July 1 to June 30th and can be paid at the AGM.
Why pay a membership fee? A community organization with shared values and branding or website cannot exist without a paid membership. The money collected acts also as a safety net for any projects we may want to accomplish together. The shared spaces we all enjoy are due to the foresight of our members over many years. Parks, good beach access, maintained roads, signage and cleanliness are all things we value. In terms of advocacy, a group has a stronger voice than just one voice. Your support is greatly appreciated and helps us to get the ear of the RM of Gimli.
