How to Help

Beachfront owners are busy “grabbing” our beaches – right now … AND Tiny Township Council is helping them with it’s new “STRATEGIC PLAN”!

Here’s what we can do to “ TAKE BACK TINY’S BEACHES”:

• Join Ardmore Beach Community Association ($50 per family) – your membership helps fund the crucial fight to keep our beaches free!
• Read this site regularly to inform yourselves on this issue and for news and updates on beachfront owners’ efforts to “Grab our Beaches”.
• Contact us if you learn a beachfront owner is privatizing – in local newspaper or by posted notice
• Fill out an affidavit (View Affidavit sample and importance of an affidavit)– especially if you are a long time non beachfront resident of Ardmore Beach, before 1952 – and forward photos of your family enjoying Ardmore Beach, by attachment. All affidavits help.
• Write to Premier Dalton McGuinty about the “Beach Grab in Tiny Township ” (Refer to Documents / Templates below for a sample we've put together for you)
• Write to the Attorney General Chris Bentley, your local MPP and our Mayor Peggy Breckenridge; (Refer to Documents / Templates below for a sample we've put together for you)
• Do you have a skill – lawyer, title searcher, promotions, writer, printing etc. – that you would like to volunteer to the Ardmore Beach Community Association? Let us know.
