T-A photo Will undertake boat survey A survey of boat traffic in Grand Bend will be carried out next month by the ministry of industry and tourism. Reeve Bob Sharen said Thursday. Sharen said a ministry official will be sent to Grand Bend to determine how many boats are here, when they use the harbor and for how long. A survey in the fall might not give a true picture of the hdrbor traffic so it may be carried over into the spring to ensure statistics are ac­ curate, he said. He is not sure howr long the survey will take 'because it will depend on how quickly boaters can be reached. Sharen said the village had hoped to get a feasibility study on long-term harbor improvements started this year but was told the ministry doesn’t have funds, But he considers the boat traffic survey a step which could lead to the feasibility study being carried out as early as next year. The study shouldn’t take more than a year, he said, and proposed improvements have local support. Repeating earlier arguments, Sharen said there is a need to increase the harbor’s size and reduce the amount of dredging that has to be done every three years. A better harbor will improve Grand Bend’s status as a tourist attraction, which will benefit the ministry. Shlpka By MRS HUGH MORENZ Scott Miller of Crediton visited with Glenn Durie.
