Goderich beach upgrades expected to be finished soon

The Mayor of Goderich says some significant upgrades to the Goderich beaches should be completed within the next few weeks.

John Grace says the most recent project is a new playground that has been donated by a generous Goderich family and they're paying for the entire project.

“The other thing is we did have the opening and dedication of the gazebo on the south side of the water plant, down near Rotary Cove, which is a spectacular little gazebo overlooking Lake Huron,” added Grace.

Grace says the replacement of the boardwalk should also be completed very soon and that will give them almost 2 km of boardwalk along the beach.
