              <text>Message from Mayor Redekop&#13;
I want to say a big thank you for the abundance of good deeds that have taken place in Fort Erie since COVID-19 began.&#13;
&#13;
To all those who are doing their part during this stressful time by physical distancing, practicing proper hygiene, and self-isolating when required; to each person who has lent a helping hand to a neighbour, a non-profit organization or a business; and to all the frontline health care professionals, first responders, municipal workers, and those required to serve us while placing themselves in harmâ€™s way each and every day, I want to express my and Councilâ€™s deep appreciation for all you do and all you have done for our community. It is the selfless generosity of so many that makes Fort Erie such a wonderful place for all of us to live and raise our families.&#13;
&#13;
Thank you, Fort Erie, for doing your part during this extraordinary crisis and for listening to the advice from health professionals. Through these steps, we will be able to overcome this pandemic and be stronger for the experience. In the meantime, Stay Home, Stay Safe and Stay Well.&#13;
&#13;
Fort Erie Boat Ramps Reopen&#13;
Boat ramps in the Town of Fort Erie were reopened to the public on Saturday, May 16. Anyone who chooses to use the boat ramps should follow the best practices to limit the spread of COVID-19 as outlined by public health professionals. Day passes can be purchased onsite at the Crystal Beach Waterfront Park Boat Ramp for $10. Season passes are not available at this time.&#13;
&#13;
Restrictions on Outdoor Spaces in Fort Erie&#13;
As the Niagara Region cautiously moves forward to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, some restrictions are being lifted while others are staying in place in the Town of Fort Erie. For example, organized sports are still restricted on municipal fields, given their necessity for gathering of groups. Parks are open for passive use only. Playgrounds and their equipment, benches, washrooms, sport courts, and beaches remain closed at this time. We ask the public to continue being patient as staff work on plans to safely reopen park amenities and beaches.&#13;
&#13;
Niagara COVID-19 Business Impact Survey&#13;
A Business Impact Survey has been developed to gauge the impact of COVID-19 on business operations. This survey will run until May 25 at 5pm. Visit www.niagaracanada.com for more information about this survey and other initiatives.&#13;
&#13;
Open Air Burning in Fort Erie&#13;
The Fort Erie Fire Department proactively manages outdoor fires through its Open Air Burning bylaw. This bylaw includes container type, size, location, weather conditions, acceptable materials to burn, requires supervision, suppression devices and more. The Town does not currently have a burning ban in place. To learn more, visit www.forterie.ca.&#13;
&#13;
Fort Erie Virtual Market&#13;
On Thursday, May 14, the Town of Fort Erie hosted a virtual pop- up market on Instagram Live with Digital Main Street. This was a great way to support small businesses as well as get involved in the online marketplace, allowing for residents to get to know a little bit about different businesses as well as the opportunity to win prizes. A big thank you to all the businesses who participated in this great initiative.&#13;
&#13;
Updates to Regional Landfill Operations&#13;
Niagara Regionâ€™s landfill and drop-off depot sites are now fully operational; however, residents are still encouraged to only use the sites if necessary. Niagara Region warns residents that longer than usual wait times should be expected as changes have been implemented to ensure physical distancing on drop-off pads. For more information, please visit www.niagararegion.ca.</text>

              <text>FORT ERIE (June 9, 2020) In order to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in Fort Erie, Bay Beach (also known as Crystal Beach) will remain closed to anyone without a Fort Erie resident season pass.&#13;
 &#13;
â€œThe decision to keep Bay Beach closed to visitors was a tough one but we believe that it was the right choice for Fort Erie. We are a small town with limited resources. Itâ€™s important that we put the proper restrictions in place to ensure we can manage the beach according to the new health and safety guidelines put forth by the Province. We will happily welcome back our visitors as soon as we feel it's safe for everyone to enjoy,â€ said Tom Kuchyt, Chief Administrative Officer.&#13;
 &#13;
Resident season passes for Bay Beach are being offered to Fort Erie residents, Fort Erie taxpayers and Fort Erie short-term rental operators with proof of address such as a driver's license, passport, tax bill or any bill that shows the personâ€™s name and address. &#13;
 &#13;
The fee for obtaining a Bay Beach resident season pass has been waived for 2020. Passes and day passes will not be available on-site (at Bay Beach) for health and safety reasons. Resident season passes will be made available for pick-up at the Leisureplex and Crystal Ridge arenas during select dates and times. The resident season pass pick-up schedule as well as start date and hours of operations for Bay Beach will be available later this week. &#13;
 &#13;
A maximum of 2,000 people will be allowed entry to Bay Beach per day (with no exceptions) to ensure physical distancing measures can be practiced. &#13;
 &#13;

              <text>Fort Erie beaches are closed&#13;
We recognize there has been some confusion regarding the status of beaches in Fort Erie. To be clear, all Fort Erie beaches are closed. This includes: &#13;
*Bay Beach (also known as Crystal Beach)&#13;
*Crystal Beach Waterfront Park&#13;
Maple Leaf Beach &#13;
Bernard Beach &#13;
Crescent Beach&#13;
*Waverly Beach&#13;
*Bowen Road Waterfront&#13;
Riverwalk and Freedom&#13;
* Beach portion of the park is closed. Greenspace is open for active and passive use, but playground areas and equipment are closed.&#13;
&#13;
Additional signage and barriers will be placed at various locations where applicable. Those found disobeying Town regulations may be subject to fines up to $1,000. A staff report outlining recommended operation changes for Bay Beach will be included in the June 8, 2020, Committee-in-Council agenda.&#13;

A history of the Ridgeway-Crystal Beach High School
By 1919, High School work had been going on in Ridgeway
for eleven years.

Students attended the Continuation School in

what is now the Masonic Building where they were taught by two
teachers.
In 1921 classes were moved to a new public school building, now Ridgeway Public School, which was built for approximately
$128,000.

In 1925, two rooms were added to this building and by

1926 there were four teachers on staff.
In 1927 the School Trustees applied to the Township of
Bertie for $132,000 for the purpose of erecting and furnishing a
new Continuation School building.

â€¢

This building, now known as the

Ridgeway-Crystal Beach High School, is still in use today â€¢
A cafeteria, which has since been enlarged, was build in
1956.

In 1960 an addition which included administrative offices,

industrial arts and home economics rooms, a library, and more
classrooms was built on the north side of the building.

In 1966

science laboratories and mere classrooms were added and a new
physical education wing was built.
In 1973 an addition was built on to the south end of the
building.

This wing included classrooms for the teaching of typing

and accounting and a new library.

The old library became a science

laboratory while the old typing room was used to enlarge administrative and guidance offices.
From its inception in 1909 with two teachers and approximately twenty-eight students, the present Ridgeway-Crystal Beach
High School has grown to a staff of thirty-one and a student enrolment of 537.
