Bronte Beach is nestled among other harbour facilities, including a marina. Back in the mid 1800s, Bronte Harbour was a bustling port with a thriving commercial fishery and "stonehooking" business. When you see old buildings in Oakville and Burlington, chances are their foundations are made of shale. This stone was carved and carted by hand from the shallow waters in the Bronte Beach area.

Lake Ontario Waterkeeper is grateful for support in 2011 from the Peace and Justice Club at St. Thomas Aquinas Secondary School in Oakville. Their contributions will help us continue to monitor these beaches for postings throughout the summer!
