Grand Bend Beach Achieves Blue Flag Designation!
The Blue Flag Program for beaches and marinas is run by the non-governmental, non-profit organization called the “Foundation for Environmental Education” (FEE). Started in France in 1985, the Blue Flag Program now exists in 38 countries.
A Blue Flag designation means Grand Bend’s beach has met strict guidelines and criteria dealing with water quality, environmental education and information, environmental management and safety and other services. These criteria include cleanliness, provisions for waste and recycling, zoning of activities and environmental education activities for a variety of people.
