Plan for the Future generations, preserve the Past

"The more things change, the more they stay the same." We cannot stop time and we cannot stop change.

Bayfield currently relies on tourism, the summer cottage owners and volunteer retirees.

Where we fail is providing housing for people working in the tourism areas and young adults starting new families. I feel that we should have new housing in low-rise apartment buildings or low rise condominiums. We have already allowed condominium and freehold townhomes but the cost is prohibitive for those starting out in life. We need to preserve the charm of the downtown area which we are doing with the Bluewater Municipality Heritage Committee.

No large lit signs within town limits. A low-rise retirement home would be a good idea so those not able to maintain their residences do not need to leave for London or Waterloo.
