LETTER: Reader 'appalled' by garbage at city's lakeshore

My wife and I went for a walk down the boardwalk at the Barrie waterfront last Sunday evening. We were appalled by the trash that was left over by the people visiting that day.

There was food, garbage, clothing left around the cooking areas, on the tables, the benches, the beach, everywhere!

Totally disgusting in my view.

It actually looked like the something you would see at landfill site, not at Barrie's beautiful waterfront.

When will the city start policing this area and getting control of the ignorance that is beginning to occur?
