Hundreds of tree saplings were planted in the Beachway just a few weeks ago – details on the damage are not yet in.

BurlingtonGreen spent the best part of a day a few weeks ago planting hundreds of trees in the sand dunes in the Beachway – that work may have come to naught as a result of the wind and rain experienced over the weekend.

Residents in the Beachway report that during Saturday’s windstorm, the beach strip was completely underwater – “all the sand was underwater”.

Two boats were washed off their davits; one smashed to pieces on the seawall and the other appears to have just sunk intact.

These were believed to be an 18ft Seadoo jet boat and a (approx) 26 ft. fishing boat located between Brant and Guelph Line.
