Hello everyone,

In accordance with the provincial order, trails and Grand Bend Beach remain open to those in the region. If you plan to visit, please continue to respect others, be mindful of physical distancing, and keep our beaches clean. We will continue to remind the public that during the stay-at-home order, people should not travel outside their region unless absolutely necessary. Additional information about these limitations can be found on the Lambton Shores website.

Although the Forest vaccination clinic was postponed on April 14th due to a delayed shipment of the vaccine, individuals with appointments were able to reschedule for Friday, April 16th. Please remember that vaccines are by appointment only, and must be made either through the Lambton Public Health website or by calling 519-383-8331 or toll free 1-800-667-1839. Your patience is appreciated when calling for an appointment as the call volume has been very high.

As vaccinations continue to rollout across Lambton County, there's good reason to remain optimistic. However, we must all continue to control our own actions and do everything we can to stop the spread.

Lastly, I want to once again thank our staff for working to accommodate the much needed clinic in our community and to all our front-line workers.

Stay healthy, safe, and positive.

Mayor Bill

As of April 8, 2021 the Ontario government has issued a provincewide stay-at-home order. The stay-at-home order requires everyone to remain at home, except for essential trips such as going to the grocery store or pharmacy, accessing health care services (including getting vaccinated), for outdoor exercise, or for work that cannot be done remotely. More information about the stay-at-home order can be found on the Ontario government's website.

The Municipality of Lambton Shores continues to remind the public that a key takeaway from the provincewide stay-at-home order is the importance of not travelling outside your own region unless necessary. However, Grand Bend Beach remains open to those in the region. Public washrooms and facilities remain closed. Read the update on the Lambton Shores website.
