The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that warming temperatures are forecast starting tomorrow, along with rainfall over the weekend. Daytime temperatures are expected to range between +7 to +15 degrees, with total rainfall amounts of 15-30 mm for Saturday and Sunday.
While widespread flooding is not expected, the possibility for flooding in various low-lying areas of the watershed exists due to the expected rainfall and melting of the remaining snowpack. There is also the potential for ice breakup and ice jams in some watercourses.
“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.

To make progress towards solving the housing crisis we need to build more homes at prices that Canadians can afford, faster. To do this we need to end restrictive zoning and speed up permitting, and add greater density, especially near transit and post-secondary institutions. The Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) will cut this red tape and fast-track at least 112,000 new homes by 2028, which cities and regions estimate will lead to the creation of over 750,000 new homes for people in towns, cities, and Indigenous communities across Canada over the next decade.
