Protestors gather at the base of High Street in Southampton on Lake Huron

The group 'Save our Saugeen Shores' (SOS) organized a peaceful walk on Saturday, June 30, in Southampton, Saugeen Shores.

The walk was to protest a proposed deep geologic repository (DGR) and Saugeen Shores Town Council's decision to proceed to Step 2 in the information process by Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO).
