Statement from Mayor Quirk regarding Balfour Beach

“On Monday, March 3, 2025 some Council members, including myself, received a letter from a Town resident that proposed the renaming of Balfour Beach to “Gaza Beach.”  Since that letter was sent, this proposal was spread on social media and a number of local residents have expressed their concerns to me about this proposed name change.

I want to make it clear to the residents of Georgina that I do not support this proposal, there is no intention to consider this proposal, and I know that my Council colleagues, including local Councillor Neeson feel the same way. 

We remain committed to creating a vibrant, healthy and safe community for all.” Margaret Quirk, Mayor of Georgina.
