Abstract:
The subject of Grand Beach is of more than academic interest to the author because for almost twenty years he has been a regular summer visitor to this resort. Therefore, the announcement that the former C.N.R. property has been sold to the Provincial Government for development evoked an almost proprietary interest. This has resulted in the desire to prepare a study suggesting how it could best be utilized. The area under consideration includes Grand Beach itself plus approximately 1,100 yards of Provincially-owned lakeshore east of the channel. The limits of the property are marked in red on the accompanying aerial photograph. An official plan has been prepared for the Government by a consultant firm, but the two are not comparable since the official plan is based on the eventual development of a much more extensive area.
