Our Mandate, Structure and Leadership

Our Mandate:
To understand and support the interests of Lowertown residents in matters of community concern, and in particular: physical planning, heritage and culture, safety and security, transportation issues, environmental issues, housing and homelessness, and cultural and recreational activities.

To this end, the Board and the formal committees actively communicate with and educate and animate the community on matters affecting the future of Lowertown by means of its monthly meetings, the LCA website, The Echo community newspaper, Facebook, and Twitter as well as providing a platform to allow residents to voice their ideas and opinions. It cooperates with other community associations and groups on matters of common interest.

Our Structure:
The association is comprised of a Board of Directors which is elected each year in June at the Annual General Meeting. A number of committees of the Board are responsible for matters of concern to the association and the general public. The association and its committees meet on a monthly basis except in July and August. Recommendations for action emanating from the committees or general membership are made to the President and the Board.
