Beach volleyball
Letter to the Editor -Lakeshore AdvanceAs a long-time resident of Grand Bend, having lived and had a business here for over 40 years, I have seen a lot of decisions that the Council has made for the "betterment" of the town. The recent decision to allow a businessman from Markham to set up a private business on the beach is unacceptable. Although a volleyball summer camp for our kids is a good idea, by allowing a private business to be set up for 5 months from 8 am to 9 pm 7 days a week from the condos north will severely limit the amount of beach available for public access. The beach has always been and should continue to be accessible by all for the public's gain, not private gain.
Grand Bend is known for its beach. My parents came to the "Bend" for the beach, as I have, my children, and now my grandchildren do. If we don't protect our most valuable asset to remain for the public's use, we are risking selling off what makes Grand Bend, Grand Bend. The beach should be for the people - today's and tomorrow's generations to continue to come and enjoy.
This is our beach for all to enjoy. Not for private profit!
Please if you care for OUR beach, please come to the meeting at the Grand Bend school
May 1st at 9:00 am and lets make our voice heard.
Sincerely,
Paula Taylor
a very concerned resident, business owner and beach lover
