Reeve Bob Sharen said he
had really no idea what
discussions were going to
take place but he suspected
that one of the items of the
agenda will be the resort’s
proposed annexation of large
amounts Bosanquet and
Stephen townships.
While Sharen said he did
not know how many mem
bers of Grand Bend council
will be in who should be there
is councillor Harold Green.
When the Bosanquet in
vitation was received at the
first council meeting in June,
Green said “It sounds like
fun. I’d like to attend.”
At the council meeting,
Sharen said the meeting
would probably discuss a
counter-proposal by
Bosanquet that Grand Bend
dissolve its boundaries and
become a part of the
township.

the commercial art field
with the Canadian

joined the Alexander Murray

Gurth.

have lived in Grand Bend at
the Grand Cove Estates for
