The POA Board is currently recruiting for a Property Owner with measurable background and work experience in Strategic Planning. This individual will facilitate regularly scheduled meetings with the Board and key management personnel in drafting the Strategic Plan. It is anticipated the Strategic Plan Team will meet once a week for 1-2 hours.

While the current Master Plan remains a living document, the prioritization of Big Canoe projects is determined by 1) the Chambers Survey Results from Big Canoe residents, 2) the results from research and recommendations compiled by the Long Range Planning Committee, and 3) the review and approval of the Project Schedule by the POA Board.

The POA of Big Canoe needs a formal document that defines where the POA wants to be in ten or fifteen years and how we are to arrive there. Such a document should be referred to as Vision 2030 or Vision 2035 to delineate new futures and new opportunities for Big Canoe. The Strategic Plan is to correspond with the Master Plan in identifying and scheduling future project directives for the community.

As this community evolves and the demographics change, Community Surveys should be regularly conducted by a professional business source.

The Conservation Committee oversees the welfare and protection of the wildlife, forests, lakes & streams, and trails in Big Canoe. This is all made possible by working partnerships with Forest Ecology and Stewardship, the Black Bear Project, the Archaeological Preservation Team and the North Georgia Conservation Coalition who are all integral parts of the Committee.
*Individuals with proficiencies in Forestry, Archeology, Resource Management, Wildlife Management, Botany, and similar backgrounds are being highly sought to partner in leadership with directives and program priorities. Resident participation is also encouraged with the programs that protect and enhance the natural environment throughout the community.
If your professional background is/was in any of the areas mentioned above or you simply want to learn more, additional Committee information is available on the Big Canoe website. Please complete your registration on this site specifying this Project.
Expressions of interest have been extended thru May 31st.

The Governance Documents Review Task Force is appointed by the Board of Directors. The objective is to conduct a comprehensive review of our Bylaws, Policies and Procedures, and Rules and Regulations, and recommend revisions necessary to provide clear, cohesive guidelines and usable information while conforming to our covenants and Georgia law.

The CCF Task Force will oversee the exploratory research on implementing the Capital Contribution Fee for the Big Canoe Property Owners Association. This will include comparing our community to other similar communities, performing property owner surveys, and researching future projects that could use the capital obtained by the the fee.

The Creek 9 Initiative will push for the passing of the renovation of the Creek 9 golf course for the Big Canoe Property Owners Association. Creek 9 has had numerous issues regarding the infrastructure, in particular the irrigation systems, and based on the age of the course, a full renovation of the course is recommended as opposed to piecemeal fixes. Our goal is to obtain accurate quotes for the project and publish information as to why the renovation will assist all property owners in Big Canoe rather than just golfers.
