History of the Organization

Thanks to the founders

Hats off to them, their foresight and their hard work and fundraising!
In 1987, concerned community members gathered and worked together for the good of the bay:
  • Bernie Bernard
  • Gayle Frost
  • Paul Harrison
  • Les McSpadden
  • Ann Pumple
  • Susan Scarborough
  • Ernie Semple
  • Gabe Vanderloop

At Incorporation in 1989, the following community members from Carrying Place and Trenton stepped up:
  • Gayle Frost
  • Joseph McSpadden
  • Josephine Martin
  • Margret Pumple
  • Doris Rees
  • Susan Scarborough
  • Ernest Semple
  • Charles Webb

​And, with that, Ontario Corporation #827890 was registered. Under the leadership of Mrs. Susan Scarborough, Chairperson in 1989, Friends of Wellers Bay Inc. applied for and received designation as Registered Charity #0813824-52.

In 1989 the break wall was built and the channel dredged for an initial cost of $320,000. Since then, further dredging has been carried out on almost an annual basis to maintain the channel.​
​Altogether, more than 60 people have contributed their time, energy and experience to the Board!
