Lands and Forests Minister <a href="http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/members/members_all_detail.do?locale=en&ID=1823" rel="nofollow">Harold Scott</a> shifted provincial jurisdiction to the low water mark.<br /><br />So, technically, there is nothing to stop property owners building fences to restrict access to <i>their</i> property ... all the way to the low water mark. In practice, virtually all waterfront property owners are willing to share their beach.<br /><br />However, on occasion, this does become an issue, such as the ruckus in <a href="http://www.thestar.com/article/484318" rel="nofollow">Balm Beach</a> a couple of years ago, when one property owner decided to cordon off <i><b>his</b></i> beach with a six-foot wall ... all the way to the low water mark. Arson, assault, vandalism and near riots ensued.<br /><br />There is currently <a href="http://www.thestar.com/article/484318" rel="nofollow">a bill</a> before the Ontario Legislature to reverse that 1951 change, granting '<i>to the public a right of passage to permit passage along the shoreline of any Great Lake between the shore of the lake and the high water mark.</i>'Madeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593933575568389288noreply@blogger.com
