What I hope to Achieve.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

George Santayana (16 December 1863 in Madrid, Spain – 26 September 1952 in Rome, Italy) was a philosopher, essayist, poet and novelist

Wasaga Beach was scratched out of the bush and dirt by people who rolled up their sleeves, got to work and made things happen.

Somehow in the last 20 years we have lost a lot of that energy, and are more often than not, looking for a "Rainmaker" to get us going again.

We looked for a "big developer" to re-build a downtown. 

Now we are looking to a Casino to bring jobs and new visitors.

It has been my opinion  that we have all we need here, in people, talent and resources. A few years ago I created a Facebook group to encourage that ! ....

Collingwood is doing a good job of this. Years back I offered my time to help mentor young business upstarts in the South Greorgian Bay area.

I tried to highlight the true leaders in our community, those that are the pioneer spirit and make a good example and inspire us:

I have also tried to share ideas of how we can improve our town and many aspects of it.

On a green note, I have made use of grey water systems and low energy compositing toilets. http://www.separett.ca/   I was one of their very first customers.

To save energy costs, at another property I installed "Time Of Use Technology".

It is my belief we have what we need to make Wasaga Beach a better place to live. We just need to get creative, energized and roll up our sleeves, just like those that built this town. That is what I hope to achieve.
