The Simcoe Reformer
Feb 2009
There was a recent report in the media about a fence being taken down by a man at Balm Beach. The fence had been erected by the property owner who had extended the fence all the way to the waters edge dividing the Georgian Bay beach in two and restricting access to parking and the downtown. Local citizens had formed a committee in opposition to the two metre fence but had not been able to stop it.
This past weekend, vigilantes assisted the man in doing what the group had failed to do. He chainsawed it down and they dragged it away.

The Orangeville Citizen
Sept 4, 2008
FOR MOST DUFFERIN-AREA residents, a trip “to the beach” is a trip to Wasaga, which bills itself as the world’s longest fresh water beach.
Once there, you have to pay at least $5 to park anywhere close to the sand beach, and a lot more if you want to use one of the parking lots in Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. Long gone are the days when you could just drive along the beach and park free wherever you’d like.
