I thought I should create one central source for information and pictures as this situation is impacting 2 residential beach communities. Both McRae Beach Association and Islandview Beach Association have concerns and are trying to rectify it.
It was mid August 2013 when I first noticed a problem with Bernie'
Creek. Driving over one of the bridges early one morning I noticed the
condition of the creek. Water had the consistency of a slushy as it was
saturated with liquid mud. In all my years here I have never seen these
conditions so immediately stopped and took some pictures which are shown below.
Once I got to the city I called the proper authorities and issued a concern. My
understanding is the authority did come out and pay a visit to the parties who
created this issue. To this day I have no reply on that
complaint.
Later the same year I brought the issue up
with the Town of Georgina and it was suggested I talk to Fisheries. The creek
is a fish habitat and they should be notified about possible ramifications.
Well I did contact and was told they would investigate. Nope no feedback yet.
What amazes me is the lack of concern for the lake, the wildlife, the people who live on this creek and the lakefront home owners.
