We believe our community’s goals should be set from within our community. Our Goals will be achieved by volunteer effort, careful planning, cooperation amongst not-for-profit organizations, prioritization of available regional government funding and solicitation of funding from other public and private sources. 

Founded in 2013, PHARA is a non-profit volunteer organization which exists to support the interests and needs of residents and visitors of Pender Harbour, Egmont and the rest of Area A. PHARA is involved in the community in many ways, with well-attended regular town hall meetings and committees dealing with the dock management plan, derelict boats, the annual roadside and backwoods trash bash, beach access signage, community volunteer awards and more. As well, PHARA welcomes community input into other projects the association should take on. PHARA believes that all important decisions that affect our communities should be made by those who live, work and play in the areas. The larger the association’s membership, the better it will be able to gain recognition, influence and credibility when dealing with regional, provincial and federal governments. By being part of the association, members gain a stake and say in local affairs and in the direction and future of the area. This helps assure appropriate and full consultation when it comes to issues that affect us all. The more members, the stronger the influence. Contact us at board@phara.ca
