The Southampton Residents Association
(SRA) will be publishing a set of news items in the
Saugeen Times on a continuing basis. The purpose is to bring
before the residents of the entire community including all of Saugeen
Shores the items that SRA is working on currently. SRA will submit
the issues in a general way and then detail what studies are being
undertaken by the Town, SRA and others regarding them
The Mission of the SRA includes:
- Addressing ratepayers concerns with all levels of government.
- Protecting and enhancing the unique nature of Southampton
within Saugeen Shores
- Promoting appropriate planning and development within the
community.
