Wit Ventures: Vulnerable Stretch of Sarnia Beach to be Protected.

Vulnerable Stretch of Sarnia Beach to be Protected.

One of Sarnia’s most vulnerable stretches of Lake Huron shoreline is about to get a bit of protection.

Up to 150 metres of the Kenwick Street to Helen Avenue stretch north of Old Lakeshore Road – partially washed out in the massive St. Patrick’s Day storm of 1973 – is in line for new armour stone protections against high waters and strong winds that have eroded up to five metres in the area in the past five years, said Girish Sankar, director of water resources with the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority.

“The shoreline is very unstable,” he said.

The conservation authority has been applying for funding for repairs to the 600-650-metre stretch in Bright’s Grove, he said, since a 2012 study was commissioned amid complaints about deterioration.

The authority recently received $300,000 from the Ministry of Natural Resources’ Water Erosion Control Infrastructure Program.

Her family home has given her and her husband the opportunity to do extensive renovation and repairs thereby increasing the value about $100,000 in ten years. She has been able to see firsthand how much a sensible and cost efficient renovations can add to the value of a home. Shirley has chosen joint ventures because she thinks that her experiences an help others achieve their goals and maximize the profits for both parties. In 1979, Shirley became involved in a small group of women who started a metal manufacturing company making small deep drawn metal parts for the automobile companies in Windsor. They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers. Whether it was selling mutual funds, teaching foster parents how to recruit foster parents, or working for Tony Robbins, Shirley has put more than 100 percent into every endeavour she was involved in.
