Who We Are ...
The Friends of Wellers Bay is a board of volunteers dedicated to enhancing the enjoyment of the waters and beaches of the bay.
The association was formed in 1987 to dredge open a channel between Lake Ontario and the Bay for easy boat access.
Dredging has since become the responsibility of Quinte West while the committee remains an active voice working to improve all aspects of life on the Bay.

Our Success Story ...
The Bay Was Dying ...
By 1986, the Bay was becoming land-locked due to the shifting sands and the effects of Hurricane Hazel in the 50's. The north access was just a foot deep and impossible for boats to travel between Lake Ontario and Weller's Bay. The Bay became weedy with poor water quality.
The Channel Opens ...
After much effort to raise funds to pay for the dredging, the channel was opened in 1989 and the Bay was revitalized. Fish stocks returned, the water quality improved, and the weeds were not as prevalent. Resorts, marinas , homes and cottagers enjoy a new lease on business, and recreation.
The Friends of Wellers Bay Association works toward maintaining the health of the Bay with your help. Your membership with our organization and donations from citizens and local business make it possible to continue our endeavour to protect and enhance Wellers Bay.
