Mr, Roy Robinson, Grand Bend, a member of the Yacht Club planning committee, out- lined the proposed scheme with the aid of a color drawing of the unique basin. Mr. Robinson said that the proposed basin would be built in the old river bed situated south of the present river.

It was noted that mooring facilities • are not -adequate in the resort to provide accommodation for all the pleasure craft desiring dock space. Revenue for the village was termed "far fromi what it could be" if those facil- ities were provided. The group also said that it was their understanding that the federal government was seriously studying the harbor entrance problem and that some action is likely to be taken in the future. They said they wanted to be ready with addi- tional mooring facilities by lengthening the bank put to that purpose, a more efficient use of the present frontage of the bank and additional basins. Council was impressed with the layout for the proposed yacht basin. Plans call for ac- commodation for upwards of 50 boats with provisions for even more.
