Welcome to Big Canoe Living We are so happy you are here and we hope you are delighted with a new look and new way for Property Owners to receive information and make plans.

Inside the Gates: Inside Your Inbox Newsletter is now Big Canoe Living eMagazine with a format as easy to use as reading your Kindle or an eBook.

Just flip the page. When on the page you have live links to the website when they apply to the page topic. One-click to access reservations or additional information!

Big Canoe is a community that offers some of the most unique and rich life experiences in the Southeast. We want you to know what is available through your POA and Amenities and help you make plans with your friends and family. All while taking advantage of living in the woods, waters, and wonders that is Big Canoe.

Beginning this week, you will find opportunities within these pages to be healthy, active, educated, and socially engaged. In this edition, we are focused on health and friendship with a new program at the Wellness Center called Fitness Friends. Please read on for all the details. We also want to hear your feedback on our new eMagazine by sending us a note through Ask The POA. You will find the link to that page on the back cover of each issue.

Cheers,

Director, Communications and Community Engagement
