Transportation Master Plan
** comment period ends January 28th **
The final draft of the TMP report confirms that the study recommendations will address the need to reduce automobile speed and enhance safety for all road users and further states that the road safety issue is a matter of priority.
And yet FoTTSA notes that the following issues are not adequately addressed:
- speed control measures on Tiny Beaches Road
- pedestrian safety on Tiny Beaches Road
- all-way stop control at major intersections along Tiny Beaches Road
- recognition of the heritage nature of Tiny Beaches Road
Read FoTTSA’s response to the final draft.
The study team needs to hear from all concerned residents. Please send your comments by January 28 as indicated here.

The Tiny Marsh needs your help! The invasive Common Reed is establishing itself within this provincially significant wetland and there is a program being implemented to stop its spread. The Marl Lake-Tiny Marsh-Matchedash Bay Conservation Association (M-T-M) is creating a task force of volunteers to assist with this control program.

Dear neighbours,
Covid should not let us forget that another pest is lurking in our gardens and trees.
Last year the Gypsy Moths not only prevented us from enjoying spring/ summer on our outdoor patios, but also damaged or destroyed our shrubs and trees.
In spite of deputations asking Tiny Township Council to take township wide action, Council decided to shift the responsibility for handling this pest to individual property owners.
An option for us would be follow FoTTSA’ suggestion of aerial spraying of BTK.
Please note that the registration for 2021 Gypsy Moths spraying deadline is March 1st 2021.
Please consider aerial spraying of BTK. It i s safe and will not damage other animals, insects, vegetation or ourselves.
We urge you to talk to your neighbours.
On this site you will find pertinent information regarding:
– The company service proposal
– The process should you be interested how to get register
Best regards.
The Bluewater Dunes Ratepayers Association.
