PVB requires Sand not Beach

PVB Enterprises require Sand not Beach


 Lettter to the editor- Lakeshore Advance


Dear Sir,

As a seasonal resident in Grand Bend, I am greatly disturbed to learn of the proposed permantent allocation of portions of North Beach to PVB Enterprises.

PVB's reported goals, to promote health and fitness, are admirable; but the cost - elimination of beach area for non-structured activities is too great.

The loss of areas of North Beach will negatively impact all beach goers who come to Grand Bend to enjoy impromptu activities such as: baseball catch, football catch, frisbee, soccer, kite-flying, digging in the sand or playing tag.


At the Bejing Olympics, 17,000 tons of sand were moved into Chaoyang Park Stadium for the Beach volleyball competition.


Any flat area in town, when covered with sand, would suit the requirements of Beach Volleyball.

PVB require SAND for their sport not BEACH.
