Wasaga Beach # 8 Most Popular Beach in Canada

Wasaga Beach has seen its share of bad press in recent years. The fire of 2007 which claimed some shops on Main Street was reported as "the Night Wasaga Died". A little dramatic don't you think? There has been bad weather,  and a high profile bankruptcy which has caused some newspapers to question our future. Yet, the reality of the situation is that we are a resilient little town. None of these things has prevented area businesses and locals from welcoming tourists. We here in Wasaga Beach know that the lure of this town is simple. It's the miles of golden sand and the shallow, clean water. It is that big, beautiful beach which puts us on the radar for sun seekers. 

Developers Spend Big On Candidates Friendly To Their Bottom Line

A recent poll shows that Canadians aren't happy with their choices for leaders in this upcoming Federal Election. While this poll isn't surprising to most people, it does illustrate that there are some serious issues in our electoral system which should be addressed, and soon, if voter confidence is to be restored. Even at the Municipal level there are reasons to be concerned about the conduct of politicians. 

March 25th, 2011 was the day that all Municipal Candidates were expected to have their financial statements submitted. These statements are available to the public as a measure of transparency but few people would bother to download them. People are too busy trying to pay their hydro bill to pay much attention to the antics of politicians.
