homerish COMPLETELY FIXED, FEB. 25, 2017

This page has some pretty strong homer vibe going on. For example the claim of the water making things cooler than in hot Toronto...it is true the water does that but HELLO Toronto is on a great lake also and enjoys the same effect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.44.68 (talk) 23:21, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, some of this article still sounded like Public Relations hype/advertising AND virtually ignored the huge financial problems, decline in tourism, massive debt the town has incurred, etc. Today, I toned down some of the Public Relations content and added updates with news items from newspapers and CTV. The town definitely has problems and Town Council has borrowed a ton of money for Band-Aid fixes. Of course, I also included the development plan which is the "good news" part - assuming that it actually happens; they need to find funding AND developers who want to spend money to develop Wasaga. All fully cited. And in a neutral point of view. WP:NPOV Peter K Burian (talk) 21:41, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

length of beaches

How long are the beaches? If they claim to be the world's longest anything, the article should include an estimate of their length. --BlueCanoe 23:49, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The beach is 14km freshwater. all sand .

Popular culture

Perhaps some discussion of the town's relevance among youth as a long-weekend/afterprom destination and the complications arising from this. Carolynparrishfan 17:17, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sections copied from source references

The History and Land Area, Geology and Topography sections appear to be almost exact copy and pastes from their respective source references. --papageno (talk) 23:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Municipal Officials

The Deputy Mayor, David Foster, is linked. He is none of the persons who are listed in those links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.93.25 (talk) 19:58, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The link was added automatically by Wikipedia when using that template. I don't see a way to remove the link as it is not in the code. Can someone with more coding experience fix it please? Silpheed (talk) 18:45, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Longest Freshwater Beach

How does Wasaga Beach come up with the claim of "world’s longest freshwater beach"? Practically the whole Michigan side of Lake Michigan is one long, sandy beach spanning hundreds of miles. Sleeping Bear Dunes alone has 35 miles of sandy beach. Phizzy 18:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your references do not support that argument unless American english has recently redefined "sandy beach". Most do not call 45 degree slopes and cliffs, "beaches". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.251.125.65 (talk) 14:15, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
