Municipal officials are looking to separate swimmers from watercraft enthusiasts in Erieau, in the name of public safety.
The Municipality of Chatham-Kent is inviting public comment on the potential implementation of a designated swim-only area at Erieau Beach.
A swim-only area is a clearly marked area using buoys, with or without a connecting rope. Watercraft, including windsurfing equipment and paddleboards, would not be permitted in this area.
Members of the public may view project information and submit their comments at www.letstalkchatham-kent.ca/
Comments can include potential impacts on the public’s use of Erieau Beach, the size of the swim area and location, the type of infrastructure used, overall support or opposition, or other factors that should be considered by the municipality.
