Reimagining Wasaga Beach – Seneca Journalism

It was a windy and snowy day, but with spring just starting, I couldn’t resist popping down to the waterfront in Wasaga Beach in anticipation of summer.

As I drove down Spruce Street on my way to the iconic Beach Drive, it was hard not to notice the vast empty space that occupies much of beach area one.

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy Tab A9 Plus, a $329.99 entry-level tablet designed for everyday tasks such as email, browsing the web, reading, watching videos and playing the occasional game.
