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.
