A special meeting of council will take place at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14. At the meeting, a plan for the safe public use of the sand-covered portion of Beach... Drive will be presented to council for consideration. Due to significant health and safety concerns, caused by improper physical distancing, council closed the makeshift beach and reduced municipal beachfront parking. The closure allowed staff time to consult with the OPP and Ontario Parks staff, review Simcoe-Muskoka District Health Unit best practices for safe beach use, and develop a plan to ensure the safe use of the sand-covered portion of Beach Drive. #WasagaBeach
