Wasaga Beach saw many military troops stationed at Canadian Forces Base Borden located approximately 40 minutes south of the Town, visit while on leave from duty. The close proximity of the base brought troops along with their families to vacation in the area resulting in cottage courts becoming more popular during this era.Acquisition
