Wasaga says no to nude beach

The Orillia man, who was applauding the recommendation by Wasaga Beach’s Committee of the Whole to support a “clothing optional” portion of Wasaga Beach Area 1, is not disappointed that council defeated the recommendation Tuesday night 4-3.

“It doesn’t bother me one bit. We don’t have the support of council but we are still going after that section of the beach as unofficial use as clothing optional,” said Cropper, founder of a naturist organization called Wasagabares and director with the Federation of Canadian Naturists.

“I haven’t worn trunks in years and I’m not going to start. You can’t beat the total freedom. It’s a great life and is very healthy for you, both mentally and physically.”

Deputy Mayor Nina Bifolchi said the land is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Natural Resources, not the town.

“It’s illegal to be nude on an MNR beach,” she said.
