Celebrating the destruction of Wasaga Beachfront How sad that some of the Mayors biggest supporters are celebrating the destruction of our remaining Beachfront buildings (only those owned by the town). Like most things this Council does this “plan” is being pushed ahead with NO firm plans for what will replace what is removed. It’s as though Council has [...]

The sorry end of the Wasaga Downtown plan Here is sorry tale of mismanagement and waste on a colossal scale directly from the desk of the Mayor. Those of you who can remember his last term may well remember the Downtown Plan to turn Main Street and the beachfront into a massive brand new shopping centre with high end [...]

Wasaga Council votes to block access to spending Okay, where to begin? Council, has voted to stop presenting the monthly town spending to the public. Firstly they state the reason for this is a lack of staff and the incredible cost (around $2000 a year). This of course must be a joke considering the money they voted themselves in [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 363 of 365; Wasaga Beach Facebook FAKE Who is who and why do we hear from them here on Facebook? This is my third last post in the 365 series. It’s critical that we continue to discuss who is who! Who is actually involved in our political discussions and why? When Social Media first came [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 362 of 365; November Cheque Register Well, it’s that time again… The November cheque register is out. Have a look around. How much has the Town spent on legal services? I wonder if we could compare the legal fees to all previous years? Bizarre! https://www.wasagabeach.com/.../Docum.../November%202024.pdf

Wasaga Beach Discussion 361 of 365; They ARE paying attention I’m finishing off a post about who is engaged in Political Discussions and how this affects the outcomes of elections. That will be my next discussion. But a point I want to make in this short comment as well, is that social media activity can (and does) actually [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 361 of 365; Social Media works in Wasaga I’m finishing off a post about who is engaged in Political Discussions and how this affects the outcomes of elections. That will be my next discussion. But a point I want to make in this short comment as well, is that social media activity can (and does) [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 360 of 365; Disappearing Information Here we are into the new year. I think it is important to review a few documents before they go missing and need to be part of an FOI request. Note in the attached photos that the 2023 Cheque Registers have disappeared. I assume the 2024 ones will soon go [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 359 of 365; 4 of 4 in the Richard White Integrity incident. Really, what I had hoped to do today was to highlight the entire Councils disregard for proper conduct in this whole situation, but instead… let’s just repeat what I stated earlier; Every member of our Council had an opportunity and a responsibility to [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 357 of 365; Richard White part 4 ...of 3? Evidence? Part 2 of 4…. (Yes, I added a fourth part) Councilor Whites claim of “doctored” documents is only part of this discussion, but you will see it is an important part. Let’s look a little deeper at the Integrity Commisioner Complaint filed against him. To [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 355 of 365; YET AGAIN. DO NOT SELL WDI! Well, our Council gave themselves big wage increases and it seems they are taking a few weeks off. My suggestion to the entire community is to pay attention to the January and February agendas. On Jan. 30, 2025 there will be a “Special” Council Meeting. This [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 354 of 365; 2024 Recap Calling all enquiring minds!!! I have some unique plans for “Wasaga Chronicle” in 2025. January will be a light load as we are taking some “us” time for the first few weeks. Then, I will be embarking on a 2024 re-cap/ follow up. I will also try to write about certain [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 353 of 365; Christmas Day!! Hopefully, no matter what your circumstance in life,you will have time over the next few days to enjoy a good read. I mentioned in my previous post that it would be great to get a new High School for Christmas. The reality is that I think it is a given [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 352 of 365; Twas the night before Christmas, Nah… I just don’t have the time to make it all rhyme. I was asked by so many what I wanted for Christmas this year. I actually looked back at the year Wasaga Beach has had and I thought… the PERFECT Christmas Gift for the whole Town would [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 351 of 365; Good Will Prevail I am tired! It’s late!! Bear with my typos, this one’s long….. Two questions I am asked the most: What will you do next year here? - and Why post to just three groups most of the time?   Well, those are simple questions with slightly complicated answers.   [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 350 of 365; Wasaga Council can be Fired Ok… if you are as frustrated as most with our council, I found a good story from Alberta that shows how Provincial governments sometimes feel compelled to step in. Google to find the story in the images and see how many parallels you can find with the Wasaga [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 349 of 365; Keep Asking, Keep talking Whoops! Missed a number. I don’t want to take shortcuts, as there is enough of that in Wasaga Beach Council. So here is 349. This morning I woke up and like most days, I checked Facebook to see what was being talked about today. Often, that shapes my discussion [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 348 of 365; OPEN AND TRANSPARENT? Sometimes older reports give a great insight into what the future holds.   By completing the expansion of River Road West, the Town has left our community with one remaining section of our main thoroughfare that still requires modernization.   The attached Environmental Assessment report was completed in 2018. [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 347 of 365; Taking the bus to the beachfront? Oh… don’t worry they say, alternate parking structures will be built!   Really? Multi story parking on a sand beach? How deep will the foundation need to go with the 2025 building codes?   Imagine the Village at Blue with no parking. The village is often [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 346 of 365; Beach area one development plans should NOT be a secret! For those who simply don’t know what’s going on but you support our Council, pay attention. This could sway your support. For those who oppose this Council, and wish our Council would share more, pay attention. This will reinforce your desire to [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 344 of 365; What is a Wasaga councillor supposed to be doing? I have had the great privilege of knowing some great members of Municipal Council through the years and watching how they do their jobs. Today, I was at our store fixing our vending machine when someone who follows my discussion posts stopped to [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 343 of 365; Christmas every day It’s Christmas every day when it comes to Councils spending habits. Our Council is good at only sharing what they want you to see, but there are places where you can still find information. Go to the towns website. In the dropdown menu find finance and look for the [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 340 of 365; Yet another taxpayer party in Wasaga Beach Today’s review of a previous discussion looks back at discussion 300 of 365. PLEASE GO BACK AND READ IT. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19pe9Fix8m/?mibextid=K35XfP Why review this one? Well the Town is announcing another concert. That’s right everyone… it’s another “PARTY”. The party-on group of seven has decided to [...]

Wasaga Beach Discussion 339 of 365; Wasaga Weaponized Bylaws Reviewing the year, one issue really jumped out as affecting my wife and I personally. When the town chose to go after our business in what we consider an attempt to silence us, it only made us stronger. I wrote a very detailed description in discussion number 211 and [...]
