It was a great weekend July 4 to 6 for Not So Pro Volleyball Teams who took over a big portion of the Main Beach for their yearly Wasaga Beach competition. Over 800 players 112 teams, sunshine, social and a whole lot of beach volleyball! Teams were guaranteed 18 games. There were five Divisions Elite 4's, Competitive 4's, Advanced 4's, Intermediate 6's and Recreational 6's.

Neighbours Helping Neighbours June 17, 2014, marked a day that residents of Angus and Essa Township won’t forget for a long, long time. The wrath of Mother Nature caused many to remember the year a tornado went through Barrie. That was May 31, 1985. The tornado this year caused devastation to many families in Angus. But in a time of need, Waterside Retirement Lodge stepped up to lend a hand. They opened their doors as a donation drop-off location for the Angus Emergency Relief Project. Community, family, residents and staff donated many items that in turn have been given to Angus. Waterside Retirement Lodge thanks everyone that supported the relief efforts for our neighbours in Angus and Essa Township.
June 26, 2014 Lions Clubs District Governor Chris Lewis presented a $10,000 Lions Clubs International Foundation cheque to the Angus Lions and Lioness today for their tornado relief efforts. Lion Chris toured the area with Deputy Mayor Sandie Macdonald and saw first hand the damage the tornado did, and although the cleanup is well underway, there are still great needs in the community. The Angus Lions and Lioness are currently dispersing food, toiletries, and cleaning supplies for those in need - in particular the many uninsured. Some funds raised by Wasaga Beach Lions Club through Bingo and other events go to support our neighbours in a time of need.
