The OPP will be working together with the Town, Municipal By-Law, the Wasaga Beach Fire Department, Ontario Parks, and the County of Simcoe Paramedic Services to ensure the safety and wellbeing of residents and visitors this weekend.
Responsible, respectful and lawful visitors are welcomed to the Town of Wasaga Beach. Officers will follow a “Strict, but Fair” approach and actively patrol, educate and enforce laws to ensure compliance and the safety of everyone.
