The first Blue Flag Marinas in North America are all along Lake Huron. Bayfield's own
Bluewater Marina joins Grand Bend and Port Franks in this great achievement.
Bayfield's Main Beach and six other beaches along Lake Huron and Georgian Bay will see
the distinctive blue flag hoisted in the sand.
The Blue Flag is awarded to marinas and beaches who meet high standards around water
quality, environmental education and management, as well as safety and services.
To celebrate this accomplishment, the public are invited to a reception to be held on July 2
at 2 p.m. at the marina to raise the Blue Flag and at the beach at 3 p.m.
Representatives from Environmental Defence and the local conservation authority will
provide information on the programs and achievements to date. Community leaders,
service clubs, and partners, will also be on hand.
The Blue Flag program promotes tourism and preservation of beach and Great Lakes
ecosystems.

In Issue 50, a person who identified himself as Bob

one were set up on the arena Floor
as part of the Bike Rodeo.
In the last three days I have been drenched, gently misted, soaked and slightly saturated. I have just returned from the 1 st Bayfield and Clinton
Pathfinders Year End Adventure. This year the girls fundraised for two nights and three days in Niagara Falls. The first night there, in an effort to view the
fabulous fireworks that light up the night sky over the falls we went for a long walk in the rain — at times the equivalent of a downpour. It made for foggy
fireworks but they were excellent just the same. And if you've ever been a scout or a guide, you are used to doing activities in the rain.
Day two, Niagara Falls gave us all a facial and the kind tour operators were generous enough to provide plastic ponchos to wear at every attraction. We
experienced Falls Fury, where we learned in 4D how the falls were created; it snowed so we enjoyed being pelted by frozen precipitation as well. We
were awed by the sheer power of the water during our Journey Behind the Falls and later delightfully drenched from the bow of the Maid of the Mist.
Then it was off for more water at Great Wolf Lodge and the mother of all water parks; hot tubs and the lazy river were highlights for me while the more
adventurous among us conquered slide after slide.
Day three, brought lots of sunshine and after another round of water slides, there was a chance to dry off with some mini -golf - Great Wolf Style. A wonderfully wet year end adventure
with a great group of young ladies. I wonder where they'll take me next? - Melody
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
