All members of the West Carling Association receive:

• An online searchable directory of members, including property locations, is shown on an interactive map.
• The West Carling Association email newsletter, published three times a year, addressing local issues of concern to our members (distributed by email).
• GBA Update magazine, published three times a year, covering issues of broader concern to property owners on the eastern coast of Georgian Bay (distributed by mail).
• A subscription to the GBA eUPDATE email is published approximately monthly, with the latest GBA news on current issues and handy info on water quality and levels, boating, and fisheries. See recent issues at georgianbay.ca/eupdate-email.
