The property was donated to the Saugeen Conservation for the purpose of a local public swimming spot with provisions that it remains that way. Excuses coming from the SVCA are unfounded and baseless. There have been no issues with water quality or impacts on the creek from which it is fed. As far as safety, as with any waterway, you have to use caution. Please help keep our Varney Swimming Pond open and sign our petition to show your support.
