  Welcome

Corkery is a small, friendly, family-oriented rural community in West Carleton-March in the city of Ottawa, Canada’s national capital.

The Corkery Community Association represents the recreational and social interests of our residents and promotes a sense of community in the area.

We provide a focal point for the planning of community events and activities and manage the facilities necessary to support many of these activities.

The Corkery Community Association is an incorporated non-profit organization maintained by dedicated volunteers who are committed to making Corkery a better place to live.

The Corkery Community Association is committeed to enhancing our community life through:

  • developing and promoting local recreation programs, services and events
