November 30, 2007, fire rips through the Main Street Mall in Wasaga Beach. The fire claimed some of Wasaga Beach's oldest buildings. Nobody was hurt but the historic mall, which was once the downtown hub of Wasaga Beach where residents would go to buy everything from clothing to pharmaceuticals, was almost completely destroyed. It was a sad event. 


Almost 2 years have passed since then. 

Audrey Prenzel, CARW, CEIC, B.A., B.Ed. operates the Canadian-based, Résumé Resources. Having relocated from Wasaga Beach just 1 1/2 yrs ago, she is eager to share her most recent success!
