The Long Lake Provincial Park Association depends on our volunteers and Association Members to help with many aspects of running our park, from serving on the Board of Directors, to helping to maintain trails and keep the park clean. We soon hope to be having some small events in the park to help raise funds to keep our park perfect and make improvements, these events will need volunteers. If your interested in helping out on our board or with general duties you can fill in our form to become a member or to volunteer.
