Huron county warden urges beach goers to be aware of guidelines

It looks like this is going to be a very good summer for spending time at the beach.

Huron County Warden Jim Ginn says they encourage people to come out and enjoy Huron County beaches. But he said it's very important that people know and respect the rules and protocols that are in place for the beach they're using.

Ginn said they had some problems earlier in the summer when the more popular beaches were closed.

"We wanted to put out a reminder to people that they make sure all those protocols are being respected, environmental issues as well. We have some dunes near the south of the county that have had more traffic on them than there should be. So there's a lot of issues, private property in some cases that people haven't been respecting," said Ginn.

Ginn said education is the key and generally speaking, if people know what the rules are, they'll respect them. Anyone looking for more information can go to ontarioswestcoast.ca.
