CBC – In 2014, a tentative agreement between the First Nation and the Town of South Bruce Peninsula was proposed that would have recognized Saugeen’s ownership of the strip of beach. During the municipal election that fall, former councillor Janice Jackson unseated the previous mayor, running on a platform that the town would not settle out of court. She was re-elected in 2018.

A news release from Saugeen First Nation announcing that the summary judgment motion had been served said the South Bruce Peninsula mayor “is not interested in being neighbourly and is more concerned with politics than evidence.”
