No formal presentation will be made at the August 26 Council meeting and no decisions will be made at September 3 meeting. The public meeting on September 3 is an opportunity to hear from stakeholders, including residents of the Town of Saugeen Shores.

The Waterfront Project meeting follows a public survey regarding waterfront revitalization. Over 1,500 responses were received from the community and compiled results will be presented as part of the public meeting on September 3.

"The Town of Saugeen Shores is committed to hearing from the public regarding the waterfront," added Charbonneau. "We appreciate the feedback received to date and invite the public to attend our September 3 public meeting."
