Norfolk County is asking residents for feedback on a proposed change to boating rules at Port Dover Beach.
The current restriction bans all vessels.
But the county is considering a shift to allow canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards—while still banning power boats and electric craft.
Residents can view maps of the proposed changes at engagenorfolk.ca/port–dover-buoys.
In-person public open house:
Community members are invited to drop in, speak with County staff, ask questions, and share their views on the potential redesignation.
Date: May 5, 2025
Time: Drop in from 4 to 7 p.m.
