sented by Heather

Bruce Beach
issue
The Bruce
Beach Cottagers'
Association wants
Huron -Kinloss
council to do
something about
the excessive veg-
etation on the
beach.
At the request of
the Brtice Beach
Association, a
meeting was held
on Sept. 5 to dis-
cuss•
the excessive
vegetation growth
along the shore-
line. A proposed
20 forst strip
removal of vegeta-
tion from the
shoreline was dis-
cussed as
option.
Huron -Kinloss
Mayor Mitch
Twolan was hesi- .
tant with 'this idea,
asking how far
would the removal
go if it started 'at
20 feet.
K et` h
MacDonald of the
association told
council at the :gen-
eral committee
meeting Aug. 5
that there` area lot
of weeds and grass
in the way of their
view of ;:the lake.
MacDonald was.
back at council for
the Sept. 9 meet-
ing to once again
ask Huron -Kinloss
council for their
support and to try
and to do some-
thing about the sit-
uation.
However, there
was a delegation
that was not in
agreement . with
the Bruce Beach
Association and
were more in
favour of letting
nature run • its
course on the
beach.
