The
mission of the Kahshe and Bass Lakes Association (
KBLA) is to protect and enhance all aspects of the quality of life on Kahshe and Bass Lakes and their immediate surroundings and to provide representation for the membership to Municipal and Government bodies.
Duty to Act with Honesty and Integrity
Directors are expected to act with honesty and integrity, always prioritizing the best interests of the organization and must not use their position for personal gain or act with an improper purpose. Every Director and Officer of the Association is required to carry out their duties with honesty, good faith, and a commitment to the Association’s well-being. They must exercise the same level of care, diligence, and skill that a reasonably prudent person would in similar circumstances.
A conflict of interest arises when a director stands to benefit financially or otherwise from their position. It is essential to recognize and disclose any potential conflicts to maintain transparency and uphold the integrity of the board.
Board Meetings
Active participation in board meetings is crucial to ensuring a well-functioning and effective board. The board typically holds 6 to 8 meetings per year, with virtual meetings conducted on weeknights via Zoom from 7:00 PM to approximately 9:00 PM. During the cottage season, in-person meetings may be scheduled on Saturday mornings.
