History of Wasaga beach LCBO

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario is a Crown organization that retails and distributes alcoholic drinks across Ontario, Canada. The minister of finance is responsible to the Legislative Assembly. It was founded in 1927 by Premier George Howard Ferguson’s government to sell liquor, wine, and beer. In 1916, as part of Canada’s prohibition, such sales were openly prohibited. The establishment of the LCBO signalled a loosening of the province’s temperance laws. The LCBO had 651 liquor outlets as of September 2017.

For nearly a century after its founding, the LCBO had a “quasi-monopoly” on the sale of alcoholic beverages in Ontario: for the most part, LCBO stores were the only retail outlets licensed to sell alcohol in Ontario, with the notable exceptions of beer (The Beer Store had a quasi-monopoly on retailing beer for most of this period) and a few wine shops, which had once been rogue. Many of these independent establishments were on-site at vineyards, breweries, or distilleries, and Wine Shop and Wine Rack locations were frequently found within grocery stores. The LCBO’s quasi-monopoly status made it the world’s largest purchasers of alcoholic beverages because Ontario is Canada’s most populous province, with over 13 million people, or about 40% of the country’s population.

Wasaga Beach (sometimes spelled Wasaga) is a municipality in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada. It is a renowned summer tourist attraction because it is located along the world’s longest freshwater beach. It’s about a two-hour drive north of Toronto, along the southern end of Georgian Bay. Collingwood and the Blue Mountains, to the west, are also popular tourist destinations for much of the year. The village is located along the Nottawasaga River and a lengthy sandy beach on Georgian Bay’s Nottawasaga Bay. The beaches are located inside the Wasaga Beach Provincial Park, which spans 168 hectares (415 acres). Wasaga Beach has a year-round population of 20,675 people as of 2016, but the population spikes during the summer months due to many seasonal inhabitants.
For several years, the economy has struggled, especially since a big fire in late November 2007 destroyed many of the establishments. It is reliant on tourists in a region where the main shopping season lasts three to four months each year. The town’s Downtown Development Master Plan, a 20-year strategy for considerable reconstruction of the tourist sector and the addition of a downtown to the business district, was passed in March 2017. The goal is to boost tourism, diversify the economy, and shed the reputation of being a “party town.”
Every summer, over two million visitors flock to Wasaga Beach to enjoy the town’s freshwater beach (which stretches for 14 kilometres or 8.7 miles), where they may swim in shallow (warm) clean water and take in panoramic views of the Niagara Escarpment across the bay. Hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling are all popular activities on the recreational routes. Game fishing and canoeing are available on the Nottawasaga River.
The beach is separated into sections, with beaches numbered 1 through 6 from east to west, as well as off-beach public park areas, most of which have parking and all of which have restrooms. Beaches 2–4 are said to benefit from shade trees, a bike trail, and a playground, according to a published overview. The most touristy beach, with bars, beach-themed stores, and fast food restaurants, attracts largely young adults. Between the park areas of Beach Areas 3 to 6, there are many seasonal waterfront cottages; Shore Lane Road is utilised for jogging, biking, and roller blading. New Wasaga Beach and Allenwood Beach are two other beaches nearby that are shut off from the 1–6 regions by the river and have seasonal occupants. All of these areas are depicted on a map published by the town.
