A Message From The President<\/u><\/p>\n

One hundred years ago, Canal Shores started its journey along the banks of the North Shore Channel in Evanston and Wilmette.\u00a0 In the most recent leg of that journey, Canal Shores has become a unique combination of golf, ecology and community.\u00a0 Canal Shores needs your help to continue its journey into its next century.<\/p>\n
