H2O Wasaga Beach 2021
- Thread starter -Maverick-
- Start date
OPP likely put some officers with cell phone cameras in the crowd in plain clothes, used some drones, and then let the idiots have enough rope to hang themselves as opposed to active at the time enforcement.
Personally I have no issues with gatherings like this assuming they have the appropriate permits and organizers are held responsible for anything that goes sideways.

I'm not anti-gathering. I'm anti-*********. The way this one happens with everyone pretending they are loved while hooning around, pissing off everyone else and crashing I am not a fan of in any way. It will be interesting to see what the enforcement numbers look like this year compared to last year. I suspect you are right and they are documenting for now and writing tickets later (ride checks on the way out of town with a free stunting ticket?). Alternatively, they just enter all the data into their database so when these people are inevitably pulled over, that cop shows no mercy.
And here we go. Over 200 charges (down from 380 last year). Mayor is ******. The asshats are definitely not as loved as they think they are (big surprise there).

“Over the past weekend, the safety of our community was repeatedly put at risk and this is not acceptable,” reads a statement from Wasaga Beach mayor Nina Bifolchi.
“A group of individuals participating in an unsanctioned car rally visited our community and broke the law. This included careless and dangerous driving, the operation of unsafe vehicles, damaging public and private property, breaking into businesses, disturbing the peace, and risking people’s lives.”
Bifolchi say there were clearly not enough police resources to handle the unsanctioned gathering. She says she would like to see the Solicitor General get involved.
“On behalf of our town council and all residents, as well as our many law-abiding visitors, I call on Solicitor-General Michael Kerzner to ensure that the OPP are properly equipped and prepared to ensure that Wasaga Beach is not put at risk again.”

It looks like the actual high end cars went to port hope for a burger. No police escort, no piles of tickets, a nice day in the sun. They left H20 for the civics, mustangs, chargers and subies.

You miss the point. They are going to come to Wasaga Beach regardless if the OPP are locked and loaded or the army is called in to stop them with tanks.And here we go. Over 200 charges (down from 380 last year). Mayor is ******. The asshats are definitely not as loved as they think they are (big surprise there).

They will still get in as proven by 2020, 2021.
So what do you do about it? It's Wasaga Beach. Were you here to see the locals watching the cars and enjoying the show? There were 5 year old kids out at 11:00 pm watching with their parents.
Maybe they learned a few things from the OPP busting windows out of trucks in Ottawa...only its not - 27 degrees here.
A beach town was raided by zip and muscle cars. Big deal.
I'm starting to wonder at what age do you forget being young? Not you specifically, just in general.
The problem will disappear on its own as all the freedoms of the beach will be taken away as the beach has been sold by the current Mayor without telling the residents anything, or the price it was sold for or even asking the residents if they wanted it sold. As such, she won't be the Mayor much longer...but the beach has been sold regardless.

I appreciate the response.
The simple answer is temporary speedbumps on every road into town. Keeps out all the lowered vehicles. Probably need provincial/county involvement as town doesn't control every road.
As for forgetting being young, being young and being an ******* are different but many people get them confused. If the attendees are all ballers with lots of money to spend, rent TMP, have the party there and enjoy the track/drifting/burnouts, whatever you want. Tons of fun, no cops, no tickets.
The comments about the mayor making deals not in the best interest of citizens may be valid. I don't have enough information to know. Leaving it abandoned for years was clearly a waste of money that didn't benefit anyone either.

There are speed bumps everywhere. The roadworks dept put temporary speed bumps down...the kind that drill into the asphalt on every inlet road in every direction.
There are also "speed tables" on every inlet road as well so ricers can't clear them...but they still get in regardless.
2020, 2021 proved that heavy handed policing will not work.
The "speed tables" are permanent and quite dangerous to motorcycles. I've seen guys come around a bend not knowing they're there and not enough time to get their bike out of a lean. Not to mention the damage to the local people's car's suspensions. They do make great wheelie bumps for a supermoto tho
This Mayor is grandstanding due to her complete failure of this town...if you only knew her story....it's worth the read. She will be gone in October but the damage is done...the beach is sold. She even created a bylaw to allow the sale to take place without consulting the residents.
The main road...Beach Drive has been closed for two years now which had caused a cluster F...cars have nowhere to turn around therefore the free flow of traffic is impeded and backed up for km's. She didn't even have the smarts to put up a temporary traffic light to keep it moving. Cars are trapped with nowhere to go. It's a mess.
Join the Wasaga Beach Community and News Groups on Facebook as well as Wasaga Beach Council Watch if this topic interests you. I don't do politics, but the level of corruption in this town is off the charts. I own a property in Wasaga Beach...the sale of the beach is going to affect my property so I'm forced to keep an eye on the goings on.
The only possible way to stop it is if Ontario approached Quebec and asked them to suspend licenses of cars found to be part of it. But seeing as ~ 30 - 40% of the towns revenue comes from Quebec tourists that would turn into another **** show. So that won't work either.
You cannot stop it. They will return next year or even later this year. The best you can do is contain them.
A good study on out of control youth and what NOT to do is on Netflix right now...

Not sure about that. One weekend of asshattery shouldn't affect price much unless you picked that weekend to do your open house. They spread out into springwater too so the entire area got to feel the love. That was less publicized though and wouldn't show up in most searches for people researching an area. Crap/uncertain treatment of the prime waterfront lands would have a far bigger impact imo.

Pat King and Tamara Lich started a movement that is still ongoing. I'm not sure if you're aware of the shot Canada fired around the world...the realization that banks aren't real and your money can be seized at any time.
People move to a beach town because they crave excitement. H20i will not affect real estate values in Wasaga Beach an iota.
At 2:00 in the morning at my cottage you could hear the boom of the bass from the Electric Elements Rave that the beach used to have. Most of the residents were driving by and watching the kids have fun.
It's a beach town...people move here expecting to have fun.

You do realize these idiots started to go to Wasaga because the border was closed on account of COVID and they couldn't go to the real H²O to hang with the professional idiots, right?
